Ok I'll bite, is it a Lamar W 09?

[Dick MacKenzie]

It looks a lot like the one we have in the shop and the one Rusty has in his Belair. Lamar is my bet.

Could it be that the Hortons are taking a big step up in the horsepower department?:scratch

[oil4kids]

those valve seats are horrible looking

just look at that carbon!

this motor needs more octane and better ignition

I think maybe what this engine needs more than anything else, is to be in MY possession. That's a Walden piece if ever I saw one.:cool:

I have a complete 409 engine, block #3830814 which is also the same block number as the 427. The heads are the 330hp heads. So I am wondering if the same block was used on the 409? Or is this shortblock actually a 427? It is still all together and am wondering what to do with it. If the same block was used on the 409, I am wondering what the production numbers are?
I would appreciate some help on this matter.
Thanks,
Steve

That same block was used on 1963 409's also. The bore size is a little bigger on a 427 block.

stroke is longer on 427
