How Many 348/409 owners on the H.A.M.B.

Have you been to Terrece Bay drags with this car?

 

Wow ! First time I have seen your post in this thread even though you posted it so long ago. I bet you have been bugged to death from guys wanting you to make a blower manifold for them. VERY COOL ! If I have my way I will have my 348 tri carb in my 40 Ford Standard coupe this coming spring.

 

Now what fun would that be.....one to one is more fun.

 

Here's a shot of James and the Salt Shaker (dual quad 409):


Here's a shot of my basement before I moved stuff to the new Manshed:

 

I’m still building my 348 t5 40 Sedan..

Nice color on that A/'09

 

Really nice.

 

This is disgusting, absolutely disgusting! NOBODY, I mean NOBODY should have this much W stuff just lying around!! On the other hand, I'm proud of ya, Ya done good! Keep up the good work.

 

Not all of it is just laying around, check out my you tube channel.

 

I don’t own any W stuff, but always had a soft spot for them. As a kid on the ranch I had few neighbors, but did have one. Richard was my closest neighbor both in distance and friendship. When I was 10, him 15, he flung a craving of Cushman scooters on me so much I bought one. We had fun riding them into town a few miles away. Likewise he started me down the hot rod road. We put baby moons on his moms 56 Ford, stuff like that.
Then in 1964-5 he bought a 58 Chevy complete with a 348 four barrel. Well..... we were in hog heaven having an engine that big...biggest engine around! If we raced once, we raced a thousand times, against our stop watch on old highway 69 and 64. Then!!! We put 3 deuces on it! We thought it was faster, our watch said so! In our area there just wasn’t many people to race, but we had fun. I buried my lifelong friend a few years ago, but I always smile when I see a 348/409.. especially with three dueces.

i remember at a swap a few years ago, i overheard a guy telling a friend of mine that was selling a w motor. He said look for the "x" on the front of the block. Then its a true 409!! I couldnt get home fast enough to check my motor. it has the " x" boy, was i happy. Til i did the research, turns out the x was used on ALL w motors after 1962, mnie turned out to be a '65 348

 

Nice.

 

Yes, detail on detail, very tidy!

 

I got a 62 348 in addition to my 2 409's that I put in my 64 short box step side pickup. I hope to be driving it this summer.

 

955HP going in my 61

 

I think you should put that thing in your wagon.

 

Here’s my contribution!
‘59 315hp 348.
Planning on .30 over and 4” stroke. 6x2s.
