312 Y-Block Engine – Only 479 of These Meteors Were Ever Made #classiccars #carshorts

312 Y-Block V8 engine in a rare 1956 Meteor Rideau Sunliner – Canadian-only classic car with a factory green block, not the usual red American Ford engine. In this Short, we pop the hood on a 312 Thunderbird Special 32 y-block engine and show why this Canadian Meteor’s engine is painted green instead of red, how it differs from typical US Ford engines, and why most people mistake these cars for a regular 1956 Ford Fairlane. Perfect for classic Ford fans, Meteor nuts, and anyone who loves rare 60 classic car restoration details.
