1957 Ford Thunderbird 312 Y Block Engine

Hello,

This is a 1957 Ford Thunderbird 312 engine I built for D&D Auto Body. The engine is out of a one owner car. From what I understand the Thunderbird was purchased for the owners wife. I'm not sure how the car was stored, but the engine was in bad shape. The crankshaft had the typical cracks in it as most 312 will have. All pistons had been damaged from weather. All valves had heavy pitting and/or cracks. The rocker shafts had deep scoring. And all oil passage ways had been plugged with old sludge. Now the engine runs great and will be powering the 1957 Thunderbird once again.
