Thought about getting both headers if he would sell both. He tell"s me he has a mopar carb on it now ,but has correct afb that need"s a kit in it .would that mopar Carb be worth anything??.

Don sure has a good point there. Stahls are no longer produced and many people LOVE them.
Even if you have to pay extra to get both sets you will probably be able to pay for some good manifolds and make back some of your purchase price on the engine too. Headers rarely come up for sale (other than new) for these engines and when they do they don't last long.
I think he mentioned it had a automatic choke on it too. I was kidding him in saying that mopar had to go ,but maybe that"s not the case huh???
Look at the secondary side of the carb.If there's what kinda looks like a choke plate over the secondarys,then it is an AVS. Many of the AVS Mopar carbs used a divorced choke,but thats easily converted.If it's an early AFB carb,then it's likely too small,and I'd get the Chevy carb.
Ok,I am to let him know in the morning what my decision is on the motor. If I go to listen to engine and possibly have him give me a ride in it ,and if I buy it I can look at that carb and see what it is. Thank"s for the info.
Yes ,he said he did some but not all. Supposedly the dad did some assembly. I have passed on the engine ,not really what I wanted for the money.I would like edelbrock aluminum heads and intake on a block that I know exactly what has been done to it
Would you share his contact info? I'm sure a lot of guys on this site would call.
Sure, it is on Wichita,ks craigslistunder 409engine.he has had several interested .I was just a little skeptical of what for sure was done to engine for asking price.Might be a good engine .
Hold the phone!!!!! I am going down and listen to the motor myself tomorrow and he is going to give me a ride in it and i will decide right then and there whether i buy it.I can't sleep decent knowing i might be passing up a good 409!!!!!!
I will report!!!!!
I will report!!!!!
