Hi Folks,
It is a pleasure to be on this forum. I am the owner of the "Legendary Schithead Bros 409 Powered A coupe" from the old days. Actually 1980's Nostalgia Drags (NDRA) at Fremont, CA. If anyone remembers. The Coupe has been run for many years and if I can help anyone out with theirs, I will try. Yes, it runs six Rochester carbs, (welded up Weiand manifold) and 2 1/4" into 4" headers with stuffing plates. It has an ISKY roller cam, and Crane roller rockers. Venolia pistons and Manley super stock rods in big block length. It was a 460" welded up stroker until that broke. Now it has a stock crank. It still runs close to ten's with the 4'II's in place. I am enjoying reading all the 409 talk!
