The successor of the Flathead engine, the Ford Y-block V-8 engine delivered far better performance and it didn't have the inherent oiling problems of the Flathead. This engine featured deep skirt block design, and its layout resembles a "Y," hence the Y-block name. Manufactured displacements of 239, 256, 272, 292, and 312 cubic inches, this stout engine grew in displacement over the years to meet demands for more power. It powered a variety of Ford trucks and cars from 1952 to 1964, including the Thunderbird, Edsel, and the famous 53-56 pickups. The Ford Y-block has been largely ignored for years, but now the engine is enjoying a renaissance. With the renewed interest, many new high-performance parts are on the market. In this comprehensive rebuild and high-performance build-up guide, a step-by-step rebuild of two stock engines is provided, complete with explanatory text and captions as well as full-color photos. During the rebuild process, you learn the unique features of this engine series and how to build a strong and reliable engine. In addition, author Charles Morris profiles the building a modified supercharged 292 engine that uses the latest performance parts and technology developed specifically for this engine series. You are shown how to machine and prep the block, refurbish the cylinder heads, and select the optimal rotating assembly for a particular horsepower level. The last book published on Y-Blocks was more than 20 years ago, but there has not been an authoritative step-by-step engine rebuild and high-performance book until now. The enthusiasts have been clamoring for information and of course owners will find invaluable coverage of the new parts, machining process, and assembly techniques. If you're a Y-block enthusiast, you will have to have this book.

It is unlikely that the calamity will ever be fully measured. When chaos strikes, all the normal avenues of existence are blocked, and the suffering of people becomes terrible. And when order is finally restored, many weeks, months, or even years later, the specifics of the catastrophe have combined into one incomprehensible mass of suffering. There hasn't been any natural violence since the western hemisphere was discovered that even comes close to the catastrophic intensity of what the Pacific coast experienced. The only other catastrophe even close to matching or exceeding it was the Civil War, which was caused by man's sinful desires driving him to kill his brother when Nature would have preferred he live in peace. The large city of San Francisco is the center of attention, but smaller places have also seen their share of devastation, terror, and suffering. Beyond their bounds, over a large region, the earth's trembling destroyed property, toppled homes, and reduced wealth to destitution. If we think about it, perhaps we can arrive at a useful estimation of our own relative insignificance. There are many ignoble aspects of human life, and the race is weak and insignificant in relation to the physical powers of the cosmos in an almost despicable way. It could be necessary for a Superior Power to intervene directly, even if it causes physical harm, in order to convince us to reassess our direction. The wisest men have been the ones who are most willing to acknowledge the benefits of suffering-based discipline.
