    Jimmy, the article about the 348 to 409 "conversion" is in the Jan '09 Hot Rod Deluxe mag. I think you can only get it on news stands...it's a new mag from Hot Rod that only does retro rodding.
    Anyways, they used a 348 block bored .030 over, a new Eagle 4.00" stroker crank and a set of the new Aluminum Edelbrock heads, mainifold, valve cover, water pump(i dunno if the valve covers and water pump are 409 specific) The 348 heads are too small for the cu in increase along w/ any stock 348 manifold.
    yielded 434 cu in
    on the dyno 521 hp @ 6000 rpm/488 ft lbs @ 5100 rpm
    it had an isky roller in it w/ .639 lift ...they notched the valve relief in the block deeper.
    apparently you can't go over .550 lift without notching the valve relief in the block deeper or you will have an expensive ticking noise.
    I didn't realize the w engine had a weird deck like they do.

    the mag is pretty cool..not all those rust buckets like in the others.
    the article has lots of details and pics.

    There are a few reasons why I am in no position to even look at it right now. Otherwise, I'd at least call.

    That's pretty close to mi casa, might have to go check it out. I could wait for DavidO on friday, sounds like fun...

    Spring Branch is interesting like that - huge lots pretty close to town - like Lynda's G-ma, 2 acres of unrestriced in the same vicinity...
