It seems that the only way to get one of these 348/250 engines to really work would be to build a sheet metal intake.The OEM part is way too restrictive. The trick intake would eliminate a lot of the breathing problems that the engine has. The 4-jet on these engines was larger than the early 220 horse 283,and it was the same as the 327/250, and the 65-66 283/220. There are some really good roller cams out there for 409's,some new technology wouldn't hurt.This set up would really be interesting,I haven't explored what class it would fit,what is the factored horsepower,and what does the car weigh?This gives us all something a little different to toss around during the off season.It's by no means stupid.
