Found a 409 on accident.

[Ridge Overholt]

I was browsing my local craigslist for a 348 to put into my El Camino. As I was looking I came across a add that appeared to be a entirely complete, ready to bolt in 348. Though it was a little pricey for a 348 I thought it was worth the 30 min trip to go check it out. When we showed up there the guy obviously was not the car type and very luckily found this engine. So we were just making small talk looking at the engine when I came across the code 4422. thanks to all of you guys I knew what I had just came across. long story short I made the deal. waited till I got home to get these pics. (has a turbo 350 bolted on as well)

That's the way to do it. Usually they're advertised as a 409 when it's actually a 348.

What year El Camino?

1959 hopefully it will turn out like planed but can't really see where anyone could go wrong with a 1959 el camino with a 409 in it.

I would have to agree with that.
