Looking for opinions and I’m sure there will be strong ones on this subject.
I have a 62 Biscayne 409, block code 3844422 which equates to a 1964 409/425 and indeed it is a dual quad engine. Interestingly the oil dipstick is on the driver side. I’ve read that a 348 oil pan won’t work on a 409 because it’s slightly narrower and the counter balance will hit. I’ve also read that oil pans can be modified for this issue. This engine has been rebuilt to a high level and dyno topped out around 450HP. BTW- over 100k total was spent on the 2005 restoration, not by me but I have all the receipts. Any ideas? Getting tired of guys telling me I have a 348.
