Happy birthday!

There is a one owner 348 tri power '58 about 20 miles from me. Owner said came as three speed. He had to wait a few months to get a 4sd kit.

I've been thinking LCF/stubnose on tonner motorhome chassis ramptruck.

:facepalmWhy is my coolant foaming?

Didn't PML sell a valve cover like that? They only show the Chevrolet script now.

There were two trucks like that in my town with the custom trim and that or close color. Light blue. I liked them.

I searched Facebook "409 Chevy intake" two ads showed up with the same pictures. One ad has $200 Price. Other ad no price.

I googled "20600 torque convertor"

If you Google the number a summit catalog item is there. Not avalibile but has info. 4600-5200 stall.

I looked, season 5 episode 56. 478" BBC. A milodon pan to Moroso pan. 818hp to 845hp. I knew there was a 45 somewhere.

If you have the motortrend app or I think you can see it on Amazon prime there was an oil pan test in the engine masters series. It was 40 some HP picked up with an oil pan change.

63 had more cam duration and lift. Better exhaust manifolds but hp numbers are probably with headers. 63 had single point distributor with vacume advance.

I see an August 7th nostalgia race on their schedule. Onawa.

I think the 61 409 and the 62 409 had the same cam. The heads and intake were different. 61 was 360hp. 62 409hp.

I started working at the Honda dealer in 1974 about a mile from the fish hatchery. My brother had 73 Sportster and a 74 Superglide. Both bought in Sioux Falls. I think I would have known about a dealership in the area.
