Great truck Drive Em! I also have have a few emails with your Dad on the whole 348 thing when I got rolling on H.A.M.B and was very helpful. Best of luck with the truck and keep an eye out here as I hope to post some progress photos as I go. I starting frame assembly this weekend.

Aubry, thanks for the tips. Yes I'm going with a rack so the steering clearance issue should be resolved. When you said you had an issue with pipe #7 where did it hit? Thanks Terry

Gav, first I'm doing a frame off so everything will be gone through. For the frame I installed a rear c-notch and bpxing plates to make room for the axle flip in top of the springs and I was able to find a 56 Chevy car posi rear end and case thats going in. The front I installed a Scott's Hot...

Very nice Derry! Looks simular to what I'm doing including the same visor. Are you running a W-motor in this 58? I just finished the rack set up on the frame and plan on blasting everything in two weeks and assemble the chassis. The 348 mocked in well, I hope no prblems pop up later, they did...

Guys, I'm doing a 58 Truck with a 348 4 speed. Anyone done one or have any suggestions? Thanks Terry

Looks like most guys are giving you the bussiness and not answering your question. There are a number of things to look for for this transplant. I have a 55 convertible with a 409/425 that looks as if it's a factory install. Drop me a privite e-mail and we can chat or talk on the phone as...

Help! I helping a buddy run through his 1970 Chevelle 454 and would like to find an engine part number web site simular to the information found on this site. I don't know how I would have ever done my 409 without this site. I tried search engines like Google, Yahoo and Ask but can't find...

Thanks for all the help dq409 I'll give it a try, as long as winter stays away!

dq409, thanks again my 409/425 has an Isky 262 cam and 10:1 pistons. I hope this is the information you were looking for. Terry

Thanks for all the great response Guys I'll look into the Edelbrock parts. I had these carbs "Professionally" rebuilt and restored by a National known vender. Right from the start I had choke problems and a mismatched jets in the primary carb which leeked excessive fuel while running. This...

I've recently rebuilt my 62 409/425 and she's running a little too lean. Does anyone know where I could purchase a "Strip Kit" so I can try some different Jets, Seats and Springs? I heard they can be hard to find. Thanks Terry : :help

Exhaust Repros The molds sold last year on Ebay weren't GM, they were a guys attempt to make rare High Preformance manifolds for his own use as when he wanted at that time repros weren't available. Since then repros are being casted and sold through 409 parts houses but I think Show Cars does...

In my car I installed an offset booster offered by http://www.ecihotrodbrakes.com/ made to correct this valve cover issue. It works the nuts (no not the 348nut). I posted a picture to this site last week which shows the booster which is offset over 2" and up 1". Thanks

Thanks for the info Bob, I do have a 64 Impala assembly guide but the information in the "options" section for brakes on a 425HP is not good. I,m just trying to find out from other guys with 425's and power brakes how the factory supplied all the vacuum sources. I thinks with the info you guys...

Thanks Dq409, I'm using the original AFB's. However they way the engine "was" before I started had the beather 3/8 line from the oil fill tube to the front carb. The base of the rear carb had (2) 1/8 lines, one to the vacuum advance and one to the right hand exhaust heat riser. Have 409's ever...
