Y-Block Revisited
One quirk of the Y-block is that you have to insert the solid, mushroom-shaped lifters into the block from the bottom, so this must be done before you set the crankshaft in the block. Also note that Ford made two sizes of lifters for the Y-block. Those with the smaller, 0.14-inch foot thickness were steel, while the thicker, 0.22-inch lifters are cast. Use the steel lifters.
