56TH ANTIQUE DRAGS Ford Y-block Shootout round 1 and 2 Barona Drag Strip 4-27-2019

56TH ANTIQUE DRAGS Ford Y-block Shootout The Y-block engine is a family of overhead valve V8 automobile engines produced by Ford Motor Company. The engine is known for its deep skirting, which causes the engine block to resemble a Y, whence it gets its name. It was introduced in 1954 and used in Ford cars and trucks to replace the side-valved Ford Flathead V8, and replaced by the Ford FE engine (on medium cars) and the Ford Windsor engine (on small cars) in 1962, and lasted until 1964 in Ford trucks.
