I've met the original owner of Butch's car he explained all he had to go through to order a fleetmaster with the new 409 after getting it the engine was bored to 060 he said all they could get at the time was sand cast pistons, shortly after a rod went through the block,no 409s available at the time so a 348 was run, when Butch contacted Lamar about a 61 409 Lamar said he had one he was saving since 1963 from a wrecked car for the right car, this is the 409 in the car:winner
