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. * By 1948 the famous Ford Flathead V8 had been developed about as far as it could go, and by the early 1950s the venerable Ford Flathead V8 was antiquated. Ford was always the most conservative of the major automakers, holding onto older designs far longer than GM or Chrysler, but market forces pushed Ford to develop new designs in the 1950s. Management at Ford Motor Company instructed its engineers to develop a new engine for the future. By 1952 Ford had new OHV 6-cylinder engine (215 in³ I-6) and Lincoln had a 317 in³ OHV V8. The company had designed the Y-block for a 1953 introduction, but a shortage of nickel due to Korean war needs prevented the company from manufacturing the engine in sufficient quantities. It therefore wasn’t until 1954 that Ford introduced its new Ford Y-Block V8.In 1954 the Y-block displaced 239 in³ (3,910 cc), the same displacement as the old Ford Flathead V8 but with a bigger bore and a shorter stroke. It produced 130 bhp as opposed to the Flathead's final 110 bhp, an increase of 18%. The Mercury Y-Block was 256 in³ (4,194 cc) and produced 161 bhp, again a similar displacement to the 255 in³ Mercury Flathead V8 it replaced, but with 29% more power than the older engine's 125 bhp.It’s important to note at the beginning that the original Lincoln V8 was also known as a Y-Block. Lincoln introduced their engine in 1952, and it was a different design from the Ford Y-Block, and was used on large cars and Ford heavy duty trucks. * One of the design qualities of the Y-Block V8 is its deep skirting which makes for a very rigid block for added strength in the bottom end. The drawback to this is it also makes for a heavy cylinder block. This being Ford’s first OHV engine, they had to feed oil to the rocker arm shafts through a passage from the center cam bearing. Because of the low detergents in oils of that era these passages would often become clogged giving the Y-Block a reputation for bad oiling to the top end. Ford came up with a stop gap measure for this problem by feeding oil via an external tube directly to the rocker shafts from the main oil gallery. Because of better oils today and a grooved center cam journal, a clean freshly rebuilt Y-Block should no longer have this problem and thus, no need for the external oiling tube.Cylinder heads on the Y-Block have always been a point for discussion. Because of the odd configuration of the intake ports (stacked horizontally instead of side by side vertically) and the fact they have to make sharp turns arou... |
