Re: i dont know what i have!!

y8. sounds like a 455. If its the original 74' motor than yes it would be An HO. The HO in 74 was either a "w8" or "y8". They both had 290HP. Same year 1974 they made these engines wich werent Ho but 250HP and below blocks

here they are: AU,YR,YU,YW,YX,YY,ZU,ZW,ZX,A4,Y4,Y6,Y9,Z4,Z6.


Where did you find the numbers ZH. Whats the numbers on the side of the heads?
