You should also post your question on HAMB http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/. I went with a friend on a rod run in the seventies. Everyone else in the club had high tech with latest engine. My friend had a tired Y block in a 40 convertible. The old Y block never missed a beat but I can't say that about the others. In my back log of future projects is a '57 T-Bird that will have a Y block. I put 75 K miles on a T-Bird in the seventies without any problems and have no concern about reliability.
