Guys, I'm a 409 novice. You may have seen my 64 project. It's a 340 horse all original car that will stay that way. I do like customs though too and have a possible opportunity to pick up a truck motor and thinking it might be fun to build a hot rod 409 motor to put in my 62 Chevy II gasser. (or some other car) But anyway I understand the truck blocks are notched to reduce compression. Can they be built to be a good hot rod, streetable motor? Say 450-500HP?
