Thanks Bill. I'll likely be going with mummert: http://www.ford-y-block.com/forgpiststk.htm

I am looking for a 312 crank 10 or even 20 under to get the mains turned down to 292 spec, stroked rod journals and smaller journal rods to match (for clearance also), though.

 

Does Mummert make his own pistons, or does he buy them from Egge?

I doubt Mummert would tell you, but Egge might, so you should call 'em and ask.

1949/59 Ford Passenger Car Parts Catalog only lists the standard 312 crankshaft (B6A-6303-C).

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.
-------------------------------------------------------
The 272/292 crank is the same, was also used in trucks (B9TE-6303-A).

I struck out again, no Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

 

Thanks again Bill. I've got three "usable" 292 cranks, but WANT a 312. Not many 'round here....when I can afford it. Besides, I think the ol' 292 still has some life left...........

 

Several years ago, I got a tip from a "fellow member" who said there were brand new 312 long blocks in a boat shop in Petersburg AK

But what the price for them is I dunno, and shipping them by barge to Bellingham, then trucking them to CA will be very expensive, probably more than they are worth.

 

Looking great Harley.

 

Time to dig her out....

It's in there, somewhere...

How the hell did we get this thing in here?!?

Time to start making a list for brake lines, brackets, stainless hardware, and stainless stock for custom bits.....

Looking good!

 

This should give me the kick in the pants I need to start painting the frame on my OBS.

 

No updates lately Harley....how come.

 

Truth be told, it got moved from one warehouse to another! As of yet, just haven't had the time to clean a spot in the shop that I can fill with this now.....Progress has been achieved with other jobs/projects lately though.....Guess I'll have to dig out the sandblaster and prep the springs, drive lines, and brackets for color.........soon (?...fingers crossed. Dammit!)

 

Very nice! The Y blocks are the only engines I like with the distributor in the back lol. There are some 292's and 312's around here yet, I can check with a friend this week. Can't remember if it was a 292 or 312 I sold him, It was in a '57 Mercury. I think it was a transplanted 312.

 

Coming up empty, is was a 312 but he sold it, another junkyard sold the last of the 312 stuff...If anything pops up I will let you know.

 

I take it dad has you too busy for any updates...lol

 

Would love to see a body on that yellow frame!

 

So would Harley............................lol
