- The Canned Monster is a 1956 Ford Customline gasser project and features a custom built high compression Y-Block engine built by the Y-Block Guy. The car has a top loader four speed and a 8.75" Mopar rear with spool and 4:11 gears. The rear has been moved forward nine inches making in an altered wheel base race car. The car was built to run at Eagle Field in Dos Palos, California. The car is a nod to the 1960's drag cars and was heavily influenced by the Two Lane Blacktop '55 Chevy which was also the same '55 Chevy used in American Graffiti.

Great channel , love this build too. Please go check out my channel I’m building a late 50s style T bucket.
I will follow this build it looks awesome what I see beautiful fron axel looks awesome
@@jeffleblanc8850 Thanks Jeff. Bill makes some great axles. He's out on the east coast.
Speed & Chrome Illustrated awesome I’m in Canada so I’m a little far away not that far but a ways any way I will sub you and goood luck it’s going to be awesome
I was a Y-block guy many many decades ago - ran a couple of freak 312's that would run with the 283's in full body cars on the street (three speed Hurst of course). But I have never seen anybody successfully campaign a Y block. Good luck to you - I am looking forward to this.
It's all for fun man. Eagle Field is a heads up flag drop race and it's only an 8th mile. I'm looking forward to it running and driving and racing some day.
@@SpeedandChromeTV Just sweet. Which site do you have your motor mods listed on?
@@SmackintoshSr You'll have to do some reading, but they are all in here. www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1956-ford-canned-monster-gasser.855675/
I had a really radical 312 in my 56 ford 2 door Victoria in high school back in the 70s. My uncle who was a drag racer built the motor and I helped as I learned. Super quick and would hold its own in the area where I grew up. Gosh the memories! Really neat ride to build man. Not many out there. Way cool. Good luck and God Bless.
Bruce McIntosh , I was a Y-block guy (kid) too, we were rare. I am 75 now. My best build was a 54 Ford 2dr post Mainline. Built the baddest 312 I could for the time 1963/64. I had reworked heads and a good thumper of a cam, a large Holly and Mallory ignition, dump tubes. I worked for my dad who owned a auto repair business so I had access to a lot knowledge and connections for help. It was light and quick with a T-10 4 speed with 4:11 gears. My biggest thrill back then was handing some of those 62/63 SS 327's their ass Fri and Saturday nights in Tacoma WA...fun times I can't wait to see this 56 do its thing it will be a screamer I'm sure !
I’m with DirtCat automotive restoration, my custom line is getting a motor but is going to be a long distance cruiser, love your idea
Thanks!
Love it!
Love the Ed Roth style art and I'm a big fan of the 55 and 56 fords.
Dave Cusimano did a fantastic job on the artwork, yes, I love the 55/56 body styles too.
Keep up the great work. Been fun to watch this build from the conception. Can't wait to see it finished!
Thanks man, you and me both. Been along project.
Loving this build, the attention to detail is off the charts! Best to you and yours
Thank you, Justin does amazing work.
Love the attention to detail the chassis builder is giving this project. Super Cool build

Thank you brother!!!
Badazz! 👍🏻😎
Luv the gasser style I have a 68 ford wagon with a 390 I want to build into a gasser after we finish up my pro street style 86 plymouth turismo. Keep up the good work I will be following this
A man of many projects as well.
Great build thanks for sharing your a friend from canada B.C Rob
Thank you!!
Love that body style always been a fan of that year , my pop has a 50 Ford . I'm building a 66 Nova for the street was thinking of making it a Gasser in the beginning but never realize the work that goes into it loving your build learning a lot 👍👍👍
😈☠👍✌✌
Hey George, your car is probably the easiest car to turn into a gasser with a straight axle. Its literally a bolt on deal. No cutting or welding. Have you seen the '66 Nova that Speedway Motors built? They have videos of what they did step by step. Speedway sells all the parts to do it. A thousand times easier than this old Ford.
@@SpeedandChromeTV I will check into it and I appreciate you for making the time to let me know my friend , and again good luck with your build can't wait to see it when she's done 👍👍✌
Good to see you are keeping it all Ford!
Yes
Great video! Great old school build! Waiting for your next video update!
Thanks, working on the video now. Hope to have it up in a couple of weeks.
@@SpeedandChromeTV that's great! Keep banging away at it!👍
First time viewer, first time subscriber. I love your work.
Thanks for following, its greatly appreciated.
I would like to see more on canned monster
Working on part 2 right now, should have it up on CZcams in about four weeks.
I’m 63. Gassers are amazing to me. I own a ‘63 Chevy II Altered Wheelbase Gasser. Rear moved 12”, front straight axle 6” forward. It is an absolute riot! All gearheads need one! Awesome car you are building!
Thank you.
The pick reminds me of some model cars I had when i was a kid they were called funsters nice car I'm building a 57 belair post car
For sure, yes, Funsters and Ed Roth "Rat Fink" inspired artwork for the build.
I just picked up a 56 Fairlane I'm trying to get a wider tire on the rear any suggestions thanks bud
The '56 is the best looking 50s Ford cars IMO. Wonderful lines on those cars. I would go to a good tire shop and have them measure the biggest wheel and tire you get get on there. If you want bigger you can move the leaf springs in board with a kit. The Chevy guys have been doing that for a long time. If you want bigger then you can find a narrower differential to swap in, maybe out of a Bronco. They aren't cheap but it gets it done. I would start with figuring out the best backspacing on one wheels to tuck it up in there, a good tire shop can help with that. Hope that helps.
Who did the graphic design ? Looking for a designer to do some for my 57.
Hey Randy, if you are referring to the Illustration it was done by Dave Cusimano. If you look down the list of comments you'll find his name.
Looks like were gonna have to do some grudge racing at Eagle Field.
you mean with you're blown '57?
@@SpeedandChromeTV Yep, check out what I've had done to it, shooting for May 20th / 22
@@RandysFiftySevenChevy Nice, I'm down right now with a back injury so my project is on hold for a while.

Trosley + Roth...I see what you did there :)
Yes, Dave does some great artwork.
Gassers are cool I like mopar gassers like a 67 gtx style more street freak looking need a ladder to get in it lol but we are all different that motor sounds good I also like the max wedge cars 62;to65 strait axel and I like them altered but big buck cars to buy god job you did alright getting donations love your drawing I’m a tattoo artist so I love any thing like that hot rod stuff good for you it looks awesome it’s good to have friends wen you are building something like this love the swis cheese holes they look awesome that’s a beautiful axel love the cross member with all the holes looks awesome so far
I like the street freaks too.
Is part 3 out yet?
Not yet. I had to bring the car home from the shop it was at due to fire evacuation. It will be going back soon.
Looks like you have Estrada as your artist, sorry if I didn't spell his name right but he is on one of the Corvette sites I'm on and his art is on point!
Dave Cusimano is the artist for our monster artwork. He did a great job, love his style.
I like to.ask if you could do a drawing of a monster driving a 72 GMC STAKE TRUCK
Hey Bruce, this isn't my drawing. I had a friend do it for me.
The dreaded oil pan....I had a 1957 meteor attempted to drop in chevy 383 stroker...got it all the way in running...went to pull out of my shop...and couldn't turn....had to pull it all out again.
What did you end up doing to remedy the issue?
@@SpeedandChromeTV cut the oil pan and modified the steering arms...I should have just kept a ford motor in it.
@@automotiveaddiction428 Well, I kept a Ford and still had to clearance the pan. Thankfully the Yblock pans are almost flat already in that spot. While the images look dramatic, very little was actually taken out of the pan.
FE would of been ideal.
FE would have been rad. But this is a budget build and I went with what I had. Can always change the engine later.
It perplexes me, that you are not going to use the Best Rearend out there, the FORD 9", you can get any gear combinations and they are used everywhere. I thought You wanted it to last.
A 9" would have been great, but thats not what I had at the time. The 8 3/4" Mopar is a very strong rear and this car won't break it with the Yblock I'll be running. I'll be lucky it its 400 hp at the engine. It will be fine for what I"m using it for. Later on if I end up putting in a much larger, higher HP engine, putting in a 9" would be the right choice. This is a budget build, just using what I already have around.
I've put those Dodge 8 and 3/4 rear ends. They hold 600 h.p pretty good. I had 36,000miles on my 72 Challenger before it have me any notions of trouble.
Cool car but to bad your not building it yourself.
Man, I wish I had the skillset to build a race car like this. Thankfully I have friends, family and Sponsors who have come along to help me out. I'd much rather rely on their expertise. You'll be able to see more of the work I've done to the car since I've had it back home in the Part 2 video. I'll have it done in about a month or so. My expertise area if you will is mainly in the body and paint areas. I can't wait til the car gets to that stage of the build.
@@SpeedandChromeTV I look forward to your second video. I was not bashing you, the average Joe like myself could never afford a build like this. I appreciate the skills of pro builders as that is their job.
Too many modern parts to call it period correct!
Which parts?
Just more Ford junk crush it it's the best thing for it
This was real racing. You built your own car. You didn’t buy it.
