Welcome to the site!
I've also got a Y-block, FE and flathead among others...and I'm not even using any of them in the build I currently have going on.

What's the Rat Rod project you have in mind?

Welcome to RRR! I like that stuff too. Any pics?

 

[Chero]

projects.......
i've got my eyes open for a 28-32 just about any coupe/roadster/rpu to house the Y-block. that mill runs. the flattie needs a hot tank and flux job first.
FE resides in my 67 ranchero which needs paint and body work.

pics? i got tons. i'll get to those soon.

but, i need some $$ first as projects don't move very well without it.

I am running a 292. Welcome to the site.

 

[Chero]

couple engine pics

the Y is now complete and runs. the flathead was stuck and very crusty.
crank, cam, pistons etc. are all out. needs a tank wash and fluxing next.

Welcome to the RRR

[Chero]

i'll post up pic of the internals

crusty, sludgey frozen mess.

 

[Chero]

SLUDGE!!!!!!

 

[sgtpontiac]

Holy Crap!!!!!...........

Apparently the crusty, sludging monsters have been lurking in that oil pan....
Hopefully, you can get that taken care of and drive on...we'll be waiting to see those bits and pieces shiny and oiled up ready to go......[P
