The Y block falls into my initial discussion at the begining of the post. It also was load-a-matic (early years) and needs the later centrifugal advance.
Same problems with the drive gear, and oil pump drive. We have built a few of these as well.
Pretty straight forward conversion , use the later ford with centrifugal advance and the lower drive with correct drive gear etc for the engine. Fit the two together and it makes a really nice running conversion.
