I just found this group. We have been building a '51 Henry J gasser. It will have a straight front axle, 9" Ford rear end, reverse valve body 400 burbo, and of course a 409! I'll post some early pics and more as we go along.

Some early pics... And my 409

But this block had a huge canister filter...probably a foot tall or more...and pretty large diameter. But I will check it out...Thanks!

Thanks! I can remember seeing them at IRP back in the day!

Hello all...I live in southern Indiana and am building a '51 Henry J gasser with a 409 and a straight front axel. Got a way to go but should be fun! I tried to post a picture of my 409 but it says the file is too large....have to try again.

I'm building a '51 Henry J gasser and the 409 engine was a truck block. Where can I find an oil filter adaptor to go from that huge canister to more modern spin on type? Thank you in advance!
