4 speed, Dual Quad, Positraction, .030 over 409 in an unfinished 53 Chev B/A 2d post. tube axle, gasser type. One of these days, I'll find some time to work on it again.
Through the years, I've had 8 '09 powered cars, and maybe 4-5 348 powered. Even a '55 sedan with a Z-eleven.

My son will put the 409 in as soon as he does the body work some day, the other is slated for a street rod project some day.

 

Just fire up the 348 (409) cam in my 32 3 window. 3x2's by Dickster27 and she fired right up. So far so good.
