Neat pictures and history. Was that 63 a factory 409? If so , I would say it was pretty unusual. And there ain't nothing wrong with hillbillies, Arkansas or any other kind!! Good Luck with the project.

Lonnie, the '63 was a factory 409 car. Dad bought it for the motor long ago, after he dropped a valve in his 409. The 409 from the '63 is in his car. I have his original block,
hoped to have it sleeved and be able to keep the numbers straight. The '63 409 four door had a powerglide and had factory air conditioner. I have some more pics of it if you are interested in seeing them, let me know.
This tuesday, with some help from my Stepdad, we trailered my '64 SS to my house. We had gotten a dusting of snow last friday, so it was a little muddy out there at Mom's. Got the Impala to my house without incident. Stopped by the muffler shop to ask them if they could make the bend on the right side of the big block with the stock manifolds. They said they could do it, but we'll see.
Thanks guys!
