An interesting site is the 348/409 forum. I frequent that one from time to time. There's members with parts for sale, advice and tricks to go fast, plus lots of special stuff from time to time. The 348/250 engine has the best chance of being the best combo. I have a friend from New Jersey that had a '61 impala, 250 horse 348 with a 4 speed, and it ran in O/S. At the time, the index was around a 13.30, and he got it to run 12.95 at 100. That was in 1980-82 at Island Dragway and Englishtown.Definitely interesting. That also was with the early rear end.He said that it was a car that shouldn't have worked, but it did.
