So i have to respond to this . I am a sucker for cars that i have actually owned . But i owned a new , well 6mo. old 62 impala SS. 327-300Hp
4spd. 4:11 posi It had the big AFB carb on an Aluminum manifold ,from the factory.With a set of atlas Bucron tires (cadillac-size) i beat every 409 425 i raced. on the street. And i was only a Sr in high school. Dont know if there were other 300horse cars that had the Al intake but mine did. |

Not to squelch a good thread, but who was tuning the 409's back then? I had a very stock 409/425 horse that was balanced, OEM replacement cam,correct carbs F&R, 4:88 gears, a Muncie wide ratio 4 speed, fender well headers' one piece drive shaft,10 inch by 29.5" slicks, and it would go 12.70's very reliably, 12.66 on one occasion.
I would leave about six grand and shift at 5300. RPMing the motor actually slowed the car down because the torque curve of that motor was pretty low RPM. We tried a Powerglide with a stocker converter and it picked up about half a second. It wasn't the ultimate horsepower motor, but it ran pretty good for what it was. |
