409 2bbl?
Art38, first let me say that you sure have a beautiful car. Although I'm not much of a car guy(as my name might imply), I can definatley appreciate all the time and hard work that went into it. You can be yery proud, indeed.
But I have to ask about the 2bbl carb on the engine in the picture. I've never seen a 409(not even a truck 409) with a 2bbl. Does it look to have been a factory setup? I've seen a few truck 409's, and they all had the Rochester 4 Jet like my 65 C80. I know the cars had the 3 deuce setup, but I didn't think any of them came with a single 2bbl carb. Just curious, I'm sure someone here knows for sure.
Again, congratulations on a beautiful car. Your efforts paid off well.
