It's really refreshing and fun to see the old high-performance cars being brought back. I remember when the 409's were new and just being sorted out with 4.56's and Bucron tires, and guys were struggling to get them into the "good" 12's....
This new example is really flying.... Congratulations to him!!!! Bill

It is nice to see Aubrey out there dumping the clutch and getting some good runs in! He definately has been paying his dues on this combo. Great Job Aubrey! Hopefully, he has some video on it for us stick guys.

Congratulations to Aubrey on the fine performance of his 409.That's about 1.60 quicker than my red 62 Impala SS ever went with a wide ratio Muncie, 4.88's, and a very stock 409/409 motor. You've certainly worked hard for it. I'm a 409 guy from 30+ years ago. Back then, that was the cheapest 400+ horsepower motor you could buy.I wish we had some of those parts back!!We sure were ahead of our time, then. Again, our regards on a great effort.

Aubrey ran good. He probably would have been in the tens had he not broke a rear end. The car got a lot of attention including from Bob Frey who was a guest at Mission's track on Saturday. The car is very nostalgic.

Yeah, the cars certainly nostalgic, but how about his tow rig? A 58 or 59 2 ton (I think) Chevy with a 409 as well, manual steering & brakes, towing a 5th wheel open trailer. Aubreys 122 mph indicate that the 62 should dip well into the 10`s once he gets it dialed in. Hopefully he gets the diff problems squared away, and gets the car out again soon. It was nice to meet ya Aubrey.

I agree Rory,,It was nice to finally meet Aubrey. I spent a little time with him on Friday. He was concerned with jetting now that he was a lot closer to sea level, and getting his tire pressure right. He deffinately blew the tires off it on the first hit Fri. AM,,but improved throughout the day. With his mph over 120 he is certainly a 10 second player if he can get it to the 330.
Bob ,,it was nice to finally meet you also. I didn't know you were running a 327 combo,,and I was surprised to see 10.90s on a 12.10 index. Your car launches very smoothly, and its fun to watch a gear jammer that knows how to row that stick! Take care guys,,,,,,,,,,,,,Danny Durham |

What would be involved in getting the new Edelbrock 3814690 replica head approved for that combination?
