406 or 409, I have to run the #'s and look at the paperwork first.

Awesome ill be watching this

more pics -





and it's a 409 stroker.

So what's your plans for it?

body/interior resto-mod, few changes to suspension - take out the powerglide and put in a race prepped 700R4, then use it to cruise to car shows around the state.

Looks like it will be a fun project!! What colors are you planning on doing?

I WAS going to do a bumblebee theme for my boy but since I see so many of those around I doubt it... I'll probably give it the same color it has now once I find the code in the build sheet, but with rally stripes and/or pinstriping

Nice good plan the powerglydes are good for drag racing but not doe cruising the 700r4 has overdrive so much better for highway and cruising I'm excited to see it done keep em pics coming!

yes yes it will

Looks good I'm jealous  

may want to crank the volume, vid turned out quiet for some reason

Nice what carb & intake?

Im still trying to find the part # for the intake, but I know it's an edelbrock. The carb is a 1406, and needs to come off - not giving enough fuel flow. I will get a new metering block on my holley 850 and put it on. Should wake the motor up proper

Looks like a performer intake to me and that 850 sure will light it up too

perhaps, but I had a sbc performer intake before and this is a taller profile than the performer I had before. definitely a high rise manifold

Actually now that I look at it it looks like a Yorker I have one on my 70 c10

When I get time to take the air cleaner off and really crawl around looking for a part or casting # I'll be able to say for sure, cause that has helped me a lot so far figuring it out. AND, the 409ci displacement statement may be in error - but Im not taking the heads off to measure bore... I gotta go talk to this old fart that works at the local napa. He helped build the car in 1976
