Cool Re: stupid ?

In retrospect,I remember going to the 1980 Winternationals and watchingCal Method go to the final round in Stock with a T/SA '61 Chevy wagon,283 and all. Also about that same time,I had a friend in Noo Joisey that had a '61 Impala hardtop with a 348/250 horse engine and a 4 speed that ran O/S, and it went 13.0's at around 103. That engine wouldn't have needed a rev limiter. It WAS a rev limiter. One of the 409's I built had .060" over TRW pistons, just like OEM,and they weighed 1025 grams with pins. This was minus rings.The other problem with a 409 was the irregular exhaust ports.They didn't flow nearly like the intake ports. Also,the intake manifold had square turns, and no two runners flowed the same. They were an interesting motor, and I had fun for a lot of years with it. I still have the engine from my Impala,carbs to pan. I would like to put it in a 64 or 65 Chevelle and build the car Chevrolet didn't allow themselves to build. Now that heads and intakes are being reproduced by Edelbrock, it might be a real fun thing.
