For years I have been looking for a 409 motor. I have found overpriced truck motors and WAY overpriced real stuff.
A few months ago I answered an ad for 409 parts. The guy wasn't sure of what all he had cuz the parts were at the machine shop and he had to look at em first b4 he could figure a price. Another call to the guy and he's busy doing other stuff and hadn't looked at the 409 stuff.
Well I saved his number and wrote it off. I've spent too much time chasing down stuff from vague people.
A few weeks ago guy calls me and says he has the parts and since I was the first guy to call on em I had first crack.
We made a deal and he dropped off the parts today.
I'm stoked cuz I have a 348 industrial motor that is the only 348 block you can bore to a 409.
I have everything but the cam to build a 409 motor.
340hp 409 heads
348 motor that will become the 409
