I remember that goofy exhaust on some Ford Y blocks. Burned my forearm on one once and still have the scar.
Back in the 60"s a friend and I put a 292 in his 53 Merc after the flathead blew up. It could have fit better in a little later car, but the 53 was what he had. The car was WAY faster with the Y block.
But there were some problems and one of them was vapor lock. We tried wrapping the fuel line with aluminum foil and also wrapped the crossover pipe with many layers of foil and maybe some asbestos sheeting. It helped a lot, but looked kind of cruddy. Eventually my friend found some exhaust manifolds that sent the exhaust pipes down and to the back, where he added dual pipes and glasspacks. No more problems with vapor lock and that dualed Y block sure sounded sweet. We had lots of fun with that car!
Another way of dealing with vapor lock is to use an electric fuel pump and a return line back to the tank. Mid 80"s 460"s had such a setup and it seemed to eliminate vapor lock. Good luck!
