409N Project

[quik9r]

Posting a few pics of the latest project of many by Nasty1 (uncle Marv to me) The 409N will be all Black, Grey with polished stainless and Brass wherever possible. This is the same man that built a reverse rotation 409 in a 60 corvair. All work is extremely well thought out and sterile to look as "stock" or common place as can be.

Are the tubes that run parallel to the valve covers for the spark plug wire?

 

[quik9r]

Yes they are.

Diggin the seat. Very neat & unique project. I wish I had the talent & capability of making & casting 1 off parts like that. It truly amazes me all the unique parts the big 3 and aftermarket made during the 60's that were castings. Z11 heads & manifolds, mystery motor heads & manifolds, highriser FE parts, cammer FE parts, Chrysler cross ram intakes, MT intakes. All these parts required tooling to make molds to be able to pour castings. You cannot pay to have the tooling/patterns made and make 100 parts today. It would be ridiculous $$$.

Isn't this just the perfect set-up to add a couple of little wheels to and there's ya wheelie bars
Mind you, you'd have to make sure that you hyd's are locked in the down position

It will be interesting to see what he has planned for the carb and gas tank area.

Is the seat from a horse drawn sickle mower?

A little more progress on the 409N project

Awesome project! I'm about to strip my Massey 135 apart due to excessive blow by. I wish there was some adaptors to put a 409 in my massey

You might want to look into it, the early massey was extremely similar to the 8N,2N, and 9N enough so that there were lawsuits going back and forth between them for years.

 

[OkieJoe29]

Yeah the TO30’s are similar. I’ve got a 135 with the Perkins 3 cylinder diesel. Started disassembly to day.
