409 blower intake

[Don Jacks]

Dr,.Kimble,He's putting a 671 blower on top of that 380.It'll be quite peppy when he's done.

 

[Dr Richard Kimble]

I know , Don ,
it just saddens me that in this day of modern technology and capability , that things like these old-style pistons would still be supplied . it doesn't have to be that way

Man I sure am doing my part to keep the economy moving.

Yeah, we all know that feeling.

Yeah, we all know that feeling.

Reminds me of when the wife gets loose with a credit card.

Yes we all know that feeling.......the one Brian and Jim mention AND the one Don said too. (Luckily I don't have that problem anymore.)

I LOVE the Little Rascals. Timeless. Innocent. Why does that seem to be lost and gone forever?

Another box of parts showed up today. Crank has been machined for a full keyway. Now the work starts.

Quite peppy, I like that Don. Sounds a little like your up on your toes when you say it, but. Sounds like your talk'n bout a small block?

At 380 cu.inches it IS a small engine Ray.I'll bet he makes over 50o hp with it ,which is at the lower end of the big [474] engine range and still be very civil on the street at cruising rpm.Of course that's if Brian keeps his foot out of it,which ain't likely.

I agree Don, it just tickles me to hear you say "Quite peppy" I've seen you Jacks, you just don't look like a guy that would say the words quite peppy! You look more like the guy that has a 45 stuck down the back of your pants!

Don, how far are you from Monroe, GA? Car show coming up later this month that Donny told me about. Would be great to see you there.

 

[Don Jacks]

I don't know Jason,I'd have to look it up.I might be able to come,but I'm in the middle of two street rod engines for friends of my cousin and we're trying to get them ready by the first part of April.

 

[1961BelAir427]

Well if not then, then I'll see you in a few months in Chattanooga I reckon. Sorry for the thread Hi-jack Brian.

Hey Brian, post up a "teaser pic" sometimes of that huffer sitting on top of the bare block and heads if you get a chance. Would be inspirational for all of us I bet. Or maybe just stand the heads up on a counter with the intake between them.

I'll see what I can do.

I'll see what I can do.

Repost the specs too. From intake to pan. This is worth watching.

 

[MRHP]

Hell yea it's worth watching!

Just got the aluminum valve covers and aluminum water pump. Ordered the carbs Friday. When all the details are finalized, I will post all the specs Ray. Stuff is spread around so pictures are a bit hard at the moment.
