I've seen yellow Yblocks before too though. I thought I read someplace that different engine plants might have painted them different colors? Not sure but there's a mix of 'em out there. |

Hi Raceron, My first car when a kid was a '55 Mercury Montclair with the 198 HP 292 engine (same as T-Bird). It was the original engine and was all painted the same pale yellow as the intake I bought from you (intake, heads, block and valve covers were all the same color). I have also seen the yellow engines in '55 Mercury's with cream colored valve covers. My educated guess is that these were the 188 HP 292's that came in all models except the Montclair which had the 198 HP engine. Difference was a slightly lower compression ratio (different heads).
