Just chiming in here. Clean it the best you can, and have a machinist examine it. It maybe ok. My take is get a new cam from a top seller, Comp, Howard, Isky.....you would not want to risk sending flat lope metal thru your motor.

Carmine, you are with the 98% group. We like something that shows well, built the way we like it, and not afraid to put different wheels on, or a different manifold to get some more gas mileage while we drive. The purest will want something original, top dollar, and may trailer it to some...

I understand. The dealers price should reflect that, and not pass it as 100% original (many dealers don't know all the ins-outs of the 409's). Then again, many 409 cars have had replacement blocks right from the dealer. Good luck on your search......

Just my 2-cents. This was one was certainly covered head to toe. It is a nice car, and cash is KING so if your in the position, keep what you have and make a final offer...you never know.

If you are keeping the car, Paul's photos of the bearing, slip joint driveshaft are what you want. I have a 409 w/4 speed, like this setup, no problems and all grease-able. A good 4-wheel drive shop can handle all mods needed.

You got it, and to quote a great American Alice Cooper, "No more mister nice guy"...with tact and authority.

Watch this video of what President Trump went though with these old retreads trying to teach the president how things work and will always work in Washington...he can not go thru this again....and won't.

If and when he gets in, the "deep state" is still there in key positions. These are the rino's and dems that were, and still are part of obama's regime. They all need a 1 foot by 1 foot cardboard box to clean out their office on day one. Always use the standard term, "Oh he or she is no longer...

We have seen in southern AZ, the move from drag racing to moto cross racing among young people. One main reason is cost, you can get a full race dirt bike for 5K. The tracks are relatively easy to maintain, without a lot of overhead, it's dirt. Not my cup of tea, as I like wrenching and...

The "Grump" in happier days.....I believe as the heavy competition went on, it wore him down.

It is a great start in Iowa....Trump got a big win. Keep this going and wash all the dem's out of office. In these times I will never vote for a democrat, and beware of rino republican's, as we need to look close at their voting record, and the words they speak.

Yes, "not run what u brung", but "run what you dent".

Land taxes too high and complaining from surounding home owners are shutting down a lot of tracks. Also the cost to run at the track, and just pass thru the gate as a spectator have risen dramally. We have one left in Tucson AZ, and is on county land. Too bad.....

The gas price, per pint?

I would have gotten the load...and guess what, my son just became a machinst (kidding). Won't it be fun to go thru all this stuff and make it usable. Very time consuming, but you could have made your money back very fast. Maybe pick and choose for half the price? I bet it was overhelming....
