Sounds like fun I'll have to check my calendar.
Hell I would run what you have. Aren't enough folks alive that can tell you that you have the wrong grill shell. I ran a 28-29 shell on my 31 Ford and nobody had a clue.Yes, painfull research, its a 1930 grill that I have in my picture. This is a 31 Grill shell. The second pick is a 1930 like the one I have.View attachment 71185View attachment 71187
Where is it, could you give us the address?Today Saturday June 15th I went to Sedalia Mo to a swap meet, I was in a booth and I noticed a plastic tub with a bunch of Impala emblems, SS emblems and Impala cross Flags. There was a license plate laying on the table from Arizona said 64 409. So I asked the guy about the car he said it was his friend's car and he just bought it and it has a 65 400 horse 409 in it. He had the original 64 409 and was restoring the car and going to put it back in and wanted to sell the 65 409 to get some money for the restoration. He told me the guy's name and I gave him my number and told him I was interested in it to call me. He said it ran and it was driving and in the car right now. And wasn't going to take it out until somebody was wanting to buy it. He gave me the price that he wanted for it, and was very very very reasonable. The only thing was missing was the original manifolds, and he is going to keep the headers. Other than that it is complete engine carburetor's to oil pan water pump starter Etc. I thought that was a pretty good buy for $5,000. I told him I would need to come and look at it and check out the numbers and hear it run and if everything he says is true I am interested in it and would take it. Just waiting on a phone call to go look at it now! WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! Please.....
Nice try! I was born during the day but not today. But it's only about an hour and a half from my house. Who knows if anything will come from it oh, you know how people blow smoke sometimes. Time will tell and it's great to dream!Where is it, could you give us the address?
Just pulling your leg!! I actually bought a 1964 400 hp 409 running was completely overhauled and I drove the 58 biscyane it was in for just a smidge over your quoted price. It is a tire smoker (posi),so I found my bargain a few years back. I have not installed in anything yet ,was thinking another car to purchase to put it in, but don't know if that will happen. So I start it every now and then on engine run stand. Most likely my son will get it when I kick the bucket. He has always been into 409.Nice try! I was born during the day but not today. But it's only about an hour and a half from my house. Who knows if anything will come from it oh, you know how people blow smoke sometimes. Time will tell and it's great to dream!
