October 1975 Popular Hot Rodding Article-Performance Building Chevy's "Obsolete" 409

[JED]

Looking for a feature story on a friend's car, I ran across this article "Performance-Building Chevy's "Obsolete" 409" in my files from the October 1975 issue of Popular Hot Rodding magazine. I thought it was interesting, particularly considering the age of the article (almost 45 years ago).

I think I remember that one!

I’ve often wondered who’s Z11 motor (with the velocity stacks) that was in the opening photo of that article.

I believe that article was written about Paul Wright from the Dayton , Ohio area, and his stroked 409's he was building for circle track racing.

Seems like he had a pretty good plan considering what was available at the time.
