    M/T Crossram for sale on FB Marketplace

    I haven’t been on here in ages. The one on the left looks like my crossram, except mine isn’t polished and has never been used. Is the one on the right front for a big block Ford? What about the one in the back? Modified 409?

    Fred Totten 409 shootout.

    Unfortunately, I didn’t make it. Something else came up. Can I buy a shirt by mail? I can mail a check or money order (if that works better.)

    I hope to attend, but if not, can I order a shirt? Size 3x.

    Milan Dragway, Milan Mi. 1987 63 409 on a 2 barrel carb

    I bought a never used M/T crossram for a 409 from Zubal in the late 70s. I still have it, never used it on any of my 409s.

    More Ink or Just who is Ray Borba???

    Man, bummer! Hope some other deals exist this year. If not, at least I can enjoy the sound of a mean '09 burning up the 1320! Better than any stereo!

    I plan to come to Thompson this year. I was going to last year, but got sidetracked. I hope to buy a 409 (at least a block) there. That doesn't surprise me we beat the AMC club. Did you go to the Milan race in '83? It was great! I have lots of photos! I don't have my yellow 409 club shirt yet...

    More Ink or Just who is Ray Borba???

    Me and few old friends were supposed to go to Union Grove in the late 70s to attend the Midwest 409 club versus the AMC club. We couldn't make it because my friends old Chevy Van (another good song!) Would barely make it around the block, much less to Wisconsin from Ohio. Yes , the great...

    Well. you never know where the economy will go. The cross-ram might end up being worth nothing. I kind of like it though; I've had it since '78!

    I was surprised to see my letter to the editor of Super Chevy was being discussed on here and misunderstood! Let me first say that I am a total fanatic for 409s BUT cannot afford one. I have been a 409 lover for as long as most people on here and probably longer! I use to own three 425 HP...

    Crane cams closes

    Crane made great products! I think they were one of the first to bring back 409 stuff for enthusiasts (I bought a cam in the early to mid 80s), with a line of reproduction cams. BUMMER!!

    Blue Suede Cruise

    I might try and go. I haven't been to Norwalk in a few years. I may have to go Friday or Sunday- Saturday may be a bad day for me to go.

    To Sell Or Not To Sell

    I don't buy cars for investment purposes( I'm probably in the minority with that) but for enjoyment. I would build a car with a 409 to use and cruise even with these stupid gas prices. 409s were built blow off the competition not sit around to become museum pieces or be sold to some rich...
