Doesn't sound stupid to me. All of the hi po 409's ran a 4 speed. The 348 might work pretty well with an automatic,with the available torque, a powerglide might be the hot set up. Could you imagine what a nasty legal 348 would do to a metric 200?If that set up gets approved as a turboglide replacement, it might just work pretty well.Also,check if the 340 horse 409 heads and intake are legally allowable updated replacement parts for the earlier 348 stuff. Also, I knew of someone who tried a 348 and the factory aluminum intake for the hi po motor was allowed. Now,good luck finding it.
