All the 409 I saw and raced on the street were single 4 Brl.
409/340HP. The were some real Pigs and easy money.

Even on the street in the Detroit area the Ford 406’s were quicker than the 62 409/409 as very few and had the ambition to pull the heads and get rid of the dual head gaskets and change the factory pistons to the Jhans after market pistons. According to Jere Stahl we’re worth 40 Hp. He was just starting to build headers in his Lenoard gas station in Romulus, mi on the Conner of Huron River Dr and Northline rd.

What vehicles was it available in in 1965? I know the Corvette and I think the Malibu bodies, was it also a 1965 Nova option or a Impala, Biscayne, Bel Air option too? Seems to be an under rated engine from that era.
