409 Parts Lot

[La Hot Rods]

I need to get my oldest son up there to fix your kitchen project so you can build some 409s.

 

[Jeff Olson]

Tricky Ricky at it again!! (Must be taking over for Phil since he retired!) Good job buddy!! Does Loreen know about this??????????????????

Lonnie

You can buy kitchen stuff everyday of the week, that 409 haul not so much. I'm sure she understands that.

I like the little motor in the 61 Jason!! It runs good.. might have to build a big one for something else though...

James... this stuff supposedly came from this car..

Do you know what helped to that 62 in the picture you posted? Too bad motor got separated from the car.

No idea on the car... that's the only picture I've ever seen of it... I don't know where the block is either... I believe the heads and one intake were original from this car and possibly the one set of carbs... there's also some pretty wild looking pistons that came with the deal too.. I'll get some pics of those posted up later...

Did you buy these part's from the guy that raced or just relation.??????

Geeeezzzzz, better than winning the lottery almost. Although now you probably need the lottery win to play with the whole lot.

Certainly wouldn't find that sort of loot laying around in any shed here in NZ.

The guy I bought them from bought the stuff from the original owner 25 or 30 years ago...

I guess you saw his 409 powered HEARSE !!!!! ????

 

[Rickys61]

YUP!!!

We need to find a .060 block to try out them there pistons.

 

[Greg Reimer]

Looks like some kind of experimental piston.That third flycut that looks like a valve clearance cut probably is a clearance for spark plug flame travel.Lots of people think lots of things. Some of them work pretty well.

 

[Rickys61]

Found a windage tray and some more trinkets... the painted valve covers had holes drilled for breathers in the front, found those too.... both sets of steel valve covers have drippers.....

The tag on the pistons may be the clue. The 430 MEL Lincoln engines are 4.30" bore and uses a wedge chamber like a 409. Pistons may be a modified piston for one of them.
