That's NOT a 409. It's a truck 348 and I can tell cuz of the waterpump. Also you can see the governor on the carb.

Ditto about the caps, looks like early 60s Buick... What was that gauge cluster like in the 67-72 Ford Stake bed truck? I am lookin for one.

i was told years ago that they DID come in trucks. i've wanted one for a looooong time and an old timer i know told me to look in old GM trucks from that era.... come to think of it, i rememeber an old dump truck that was for sale years ago that had a 409 in it (thats what the sign said).

[CTFuzz]

There ALL 409'S.....just ask the guy selling 'em..... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Well, it's free, so it's close enough to a 409 for me!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Jimv]

I think GM made another motor that looked like to 09 or 348 but wasn't. better check www.mortec.com (http://www.mortec.com) & ask them Could be a anchor.They even made a weird v-6 in trucks fro awhile.
Good find if itis a 348-409!!
JimV

[Hot Rod To Hell]

Yeah Jim, the GMC v-6 looks a helluva lot like a W motor, only with 6 plugs. There's a few of them at this yard, They got me all excited til I looked close! This one does in fact have 8 spark plugs though! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif From everything I gathered on the forum at 348-409.com (which I believe a few HAMB'ers belong to) there is a very distinct possibility that it is in fact a 409.

Either way, I think it'll look pretty tough between the fenders of a little straight axle chevy II! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Fat Hack]

Well now...you know there's gonna be ONE screwball in the crowd who suddenly thinks those old weird V6s are pretty cool, dontchya???!!!

(as he raises his hand! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

Is that the infamous 305 V6???

[Hot Rod To Hell]

Yeah Hack... I figured someone like you would like em!

Actually, Kritz is collecting parts to start building a "top secret" little RPU (you didn't hear it from me!), and I told him I thought one of those V-6's would be pretty awesome in there!
