I ran that bottom end in my SS for 12,000 miles over about 8-10 years. I always thought it was wasted in a driver car. But it did have a BW T-10 behind it for those miles .
I located a 1962 dated coded QB suffixed 409 that more closely fit the build date of the SS car, so the "stroker engine" went into the pile. Well, the bottom end did.
James has freshened it up for use in the BA409. I think she's about 460 CI with Ross pistons from CPG, BBC rods, and an very special crankshaft made by Raymond Lewis, James' mentor who passed recently. The ported 583s were from Dan, the used cam from Brian, the headers from Mark, and the intake from Carl. Thanks guys!
Now James gets to beat on another setup for a while as we figure out the next steps.
