Here ya go. http://www.348-409.com/forum/threads/3-chevy-big-block-409-cu-in-v-8-for-sale.26010/Wasn't there one of the Daytona engines for sale on this site a while back?
I was going to but there is a lot of custom work from the front dump headers, mounting points and other custom fittings/lines, it is going to be easier and cheaper to go with a ProCharger setup.I still can't wait until someone builds a turbo 348/409! Wait.......

Plus, if the turbo (which can spin at 100k rpm) frags/blows up, the oil line isn't on a separate filter system and is likely to leave small chunks of metal to take out the engine as well. You'd think it would be simple to solve but most aren't installed with a separate filter line/system.
No, this is my original 348 from a '58 casting with the water jackets. Since I'm not going to do a lot of drag racing, I don't expect be keeping the throttle at wide open all the time.Not sure on the CHEAPER part??? Easier I would say yes, cheaper, not sure. MOST turbo's DO NOT come apart till guys REALLY lean on them. I know of a guy up here that was going through a F3 Procharger every race weekend. I think he was also Prochargers FIRST 10.5 car in the 6's. I recall him having 5 or 6 units as there was always one on car, one in transit, one getting fixed and at least 1 spare.
BTW you using a newer block?????
