The Ford Barn

I have an Industrial Y - Block powering a 3 phase Generator. I don't have the specs right in front of me.

I want to find out things like the Valves and Crank Materials. It runs super and should be used in something. It has G heads, a 57 up 2v Intake reduced to a 1 Barrel. It also has a temp shut off switch and a mechanical govenor. It has low hours. It was a back up generator. During the ice storm here in Maine years ago, while in use, the Brushes crapped out. Because of it's age, they wern't able to get parts fast enough. They bought a new Generator and replaced it immediately.
Then I bought it.

Anyone have any info on them? Sure would like to learn more about them
Thanks

The site is still working, they have upgraded their software. I had problems getting onto the new forum. I had a post about it on the HAMB just recently. Check the 52-59 Ford Social Club.
If you have never been on y-blocksforever.com just google it and you should be fine. If you have been on the site previously you will need to delete your previous bookmark, temp Internet files and cookies. You should then be able to get in. If you still can't get in drop ted eaton an email and he will sort it out. [email protected]
