Did you try to maintain the original tune of the '65 409 engine or make some modifications? I do see aluminum headers peaking out from your beautiful engine compartment.

Maybe do a test and tune video like this one, (its a 348)?

You '65 guys will notice the distance from the fan to the rad. I forgot to give Aubrey the shroud/mid spacer that sits between the rad support and the rad itself. The biscayne now has the original 6 cyl rad that was beefed up. (The original 6 cyl rad set up has no mid spacer but the extra flange on the rad for the fan shroud). The GM book shows the 396's with the mid spacer/shroud but no fan shroud. Go figure.
The car is really cool, I love it. Too bad its so far away from me, I would love to line up against it seeing as how the drivetrains are quite similar even though Craig's motor has more cubic inches 
and parts get broken!

Jason,
Are you going to make it to Thompson this year
Brian I'd like to try. All depends on my vacation time availability. I'm trying to get everything ready to make the car track-ready.
Great to hear Craig's motor runs strong. Looking forward to some videos of it!

Quit teasing me Jason. I'm contemplating driving the Biscayne to the 65-66 chevy club's national convention in Dubuque, Iowa and then on to southern Ontario, just east of Windsor/Detroit, to let my brother drive it. ( In an earlier post I mentioned he bought a new 65 black biscayne 409/400 4 speed from J. Holland motors in Burlington Ontario - we both worked there for a while. I have an old photo I took of him coming off the line against a '64 09 at Cayuga/Kohler) . What's a slight detour to Mt Pleasant or Thompson??? Not a big deal to me, i just have to leave now at 38mph...
Haha, glad to hear you have plans to drive it. That's half the fun. We have the historic Great Lakes Dragaway here just min from my house. Or like most in the area, they prefer to stripe the country roads black in the summer. If you make it to Thompson and I can make it also, it would be fun to run them
