348/409 rebuild

Who has a 348/409? What parts house did you use for the parts?

 

I use http://www.dr409.com/ and so far they're great. Good parts great service. I bought a complete 6X2 setup from them for my 348. Engine isn't done yet, so I can't tell you how it runs, I also got an Isky cam from them, and lots of other internal engine parts.

 

Thanks, do you know who sell complete (crate) 348/409s?

 

Canadian guy does this stuff.... Aubrey Bruneau.

www.bruneauperformance.ca

And they build and sell complete engines. Everything from a base 348 up to a monster 474. They also build 427's out of 348's. Check them out.

Edit: I just checked them again. If you do get one through them, they need a core engine...

I used a place that runs ads in Hemmings called I think Showcars in Minn. The parts I got from them were top quality.

Hey Impala,,,I feel like were almost kin folk or something. I am build up a 430 Lincoln (MEL) engine. They are kissing cousins to the 348/409 in they have the combustion chamber in the block, not the head. The heads as flat as a pancake. As to my knowledge the GM 348/409 and the Fomoco 383/410/430/462 engines were the only ones of their kind. Plus were both located in texas. I am in Spring near Houston. How about you?

 

Bearings, gaskets etc came from my local Carquest. Curt Harvey does crate motors, there was a thread here last week or so.

 

Thanks, I'll check it out. -Mike

 

I didn't know that. I'm from Houston as well. Speaking of Spring, I'm going to be at the Kroger this Saturday. Look for my new car. What are you driving?

 

Car is now a numbers matching 327 straight drive

 

VW VR6 used one head for 15* V6 so chamber in block.
