Its a secret
See ya soon Brad!
So this 409 W virus that was given to me by Tom K. and James has caused a lack of interest in my 54 Chevy pick up. So along came a man from Illinois who wanted a project for his 10-year-old and 12-year-old son. They brought a pile of money! I wish them luck and off they went with it. They were excited and so was I.
The other day I talked to Dean and he had freshened up at 409 for his 61. He had a set of Ross forged pistons and a set of eagle 6.135 rods. So I dug an L 78 396 forged cross drilled 396/427 crank out of my pile. Going to have the mains ground to fit the W block. Also going to have the counter balance weights clearanced too. Now what to put it in? This is my thought!!!

Your friend should probably lock up his barn and hide the contriband ford parts.

It's really a 66 with 67 front clip. Not a spot of rust, has a 350 or 327, (forgot which) and aluminum PG. He added the console and replaced the bench with Camaro seats. All new paint and interior, baby blue/black. If you would like I can give you his number by PM.
Not sure what he is asking but I know He wants to sell it. He still has a 66 SS to drive and can't work on them anymore due to health.

Looks like a nice snow blower engine there Tooth. A Hiedt's style front end and that 409 would be right at home.
I sent my 375 horse 396 forged crank off today to get the mains ground to MOT for my 348 stroker build... when I get back Jeff’s going to chuck it up in his CNC lathe and turn down the counter balance weights and it will be set... And I absolutely hear what you’re saying there Mr. Jack’s 
Well I SOLD my 54 Chevy pick up and my 31 Chevy Coupe. I have a 409 and a 348 stroker motor at the machine shop now. In the morning I want to make a road trip to take a look at a 63 Biscayne. It’s just a roller and it needs a lot of everything but it has a title and the price is right. Got to go look at it in the morning and check it over real good and see if I can work out a deal. It’ll be perfect for the 348 stroker motor as a driver. Not a show car, not a race car, just a cruiser. I know I’m gonna have to get some panels and make some pans and some serious fabrication. But I’ve never owned one of these x-frame cars and I am excited to do it!!!!!!!! I even know a pretty good website where I can get advice. Here are a few pics of the turd!

I need some heads a timing chain and timing chain cover. Anyone seen him?
Ha, I was just looking at that creature a few hours ago. Will need a lot ,$2500.00.asking???? No drive line . At least trunk panel upper is already out for you!!!!
There is a 62 2 Dr ht Impala in Des Moines craiglist for 8500.00 that is drive able. . Says it needs tank cleaned,plugs up filter.Said it does need some floor work ,really don't look to bad.Beige interior straight front seat.
1962 Impala KC Craig's list 5500.00 with 348 or 409 ??? Need completed
I saw the Black 62 about two weeks ago. Looks like a pretty good buy but I would rather not have to buy a motor I wasn’t going to use. I’m kind of picky and anal about the body anyway. This is a good price I’ve been talking to him since Monday and he is expecting me in the morning. He said he would take it off the Internet until I looked at it but I told him that that was not necessary. I knew I would be taking a chance.He said he’s had a lot of people calling about it but I’m the only one that’s offered to come and look at it. Looks like it would be a good home for my stroker motor 348\or 409 the hard way!
I’ve seen both those cars and looked at them pretty hard, but I have plenty of motors now thanks to Russ,Tom K and Phil
