While it was not a 409 I built and ran a 348 with the 3 duces set up in my 58 Impala. Back in those days it was a bear...to the competion. I just sold a complete 348 engine with two intakes. One a 4 barrel and the other 2x4's for $425 including new water pump. If you are not planning to "turn it" very hard a 348 would be a good way to go and a LOT cheaper. OH.... the 348 I built is currently sitting in a fellows basement. Never had the valve covers off after he acquired it years ago. I'm working on him and would love to have it for my 52 Panel. Maybe he'll give in soon? ohwell

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
