In the modern era, thousands of owners of classic Fords are being tempted to pull their Y Block ford V8 engine (239, 256, 272, 292, and 312) out of their car or truck and swap it for something else. This video covers the top 5 reasons why you need to consider keeping your Y Block in Ford or Mercury. If you own a car like the 1955 or 1956 Ford, or maybe the 1954-56 F100, and you already plan to keep your Y Block then pass this video along to the guy at the cruise-in who needs to hear these reasons!
