I called Tony Shaffer of Day Automotive this morning, just to see how he has been. Hadn't talked with him in a while so I called him to let him know that Donnie, his brother, had 3 pictures of his 348 409 engine collection in Doug Marion's article in this month's Super Chevy. Those of you who came to the convention saw Donnie's 2 trailers of 348 and 409 engines. When Tony told me what he was doing this afternoon........I asked if I could come over!!!!!!! He said sure..... so off I went.
Oh, be still my heart!!!! It's a good thing I remembered to take my blood pressure medicine this morning!!:eek: :eek:
Tony had Rusty Symmes Pro Nostalgia 409 on the dyno for break-in and testing!!!! Good grief this "thing" is awesome!!! I saw it run up to 8050RPM without any hesitation!! And it doesn't shake and vibrate like I thought it would. The engine is just so steady running there. This is a huge engine for Tony's dyno....the air box and the exhaust system really aren't big enough for full out results. But he was happy with the numbers. No....it's not my place to mention them here!! But in full race trim.......I would expect 950-1000 HP!!
I know it's not really a 409..........but it is a 409!!!! I posted pictures of this engine apart in another thread with Floyd Horton standing beside it. Floyd.......you and Travis ought to come see it now!!!!
If you have something like this.........YOU SHOULD NEVER NEED A PRESCRIPTION FOR VIAGRA!!!!! I'm so excited...........I need to rest now.................
