Does anybody know what valve covers would be correct for a 400hp 65 409? I know chrome and would assume drippers but what do I look for in wire loom holders and such?
Valve covers 65 impala
- Thread starter 63impalass409
- Start date
400hp no drippers?
Ok now I'm curious because I also thought it was just the 3 years.
You got it!!
In late 61 model production, May/June Chevrolet actually built 10 COPO 409/409 engines. None went in cars, but rather were send to the big drag racers of the day, Don Nicholson, etc. for the O/SS class. NHRA printed a supplement sheet for their rules to allow the new engines and the individual parts.
Great job!!!

So did those late 61 motors have the new 690 heads on them instead of the 586 and would the casting number of the block be for a 61 or the 62 run of 409' s?
Pat, I have a June 61 068 block, could this have been one of those blocks?
