This 292 Ford Y-block was FREE for a good reason... I disassemble my first engine!

When trying to find a path forward with my field-find 1960 Ford F100, I was given a free 292 y-block. I thought I was SUPER lucky! Gut punch #1, it doesn't turn over.
I've never disassembled an engine before, so watch me discover rust, gunk, and a few bugs as I figure out why this engine was free. Plus, I get the benefit of learning how to take apart an engine!

I put a steel crank in my 57 292. Big trucks had the steel forged cranks. The 292 came from a 57 t-bird. Sweet engine. Number all your parts. Clean all the bolt holes of gunk. There sre ways to pressurize the top oiling system. I loved rebuilding my 292. 🤩

Awesome deconstruction

[@dansgaragebuilds]

Seriously, thank you, I'm sure I made a ton of mistakes, but I'm just loving diving into this.

I just had the 292 in my '60 Edsel Villager rebuilt. First run since 1967!

[@dansgaragebuilds]

Ooh, a 292 in an Edsel, that's absolutely worth rebuilding and keeping!

[@aroundlinemen]

There are welding rod for cast iron

So many opportunities to screw yourself on assembly of a WHY Block. I think the engineers were on crack. Just finished my first build of a 292. Made so many notes along way. And really won't hurt my feelings if I never need them again.

Build it.

[@PlaneManHehehe]

Be careful if you put that y botnek together how you time the chain in the front it's not like a Chevy and you'll mess it up
