I'm located in Champlain, NY which is a border town on the Quebec Canada border and approx 2 miles from Vermont. Mention this in case any of you Canadian folks need a drop off or storage point for vehicle/parts imports (and for FREE).
Grew up in the 348/409 era and never had any attraction to the W block..now that I'm a bit older I have developed a long overdue attaction to the W...and have begun looking for one. Had a 348 engine in our local paper last year for $75, called the number at 9am and it was gone. The guy said his phone began ringing at 630AM.
I have a 1933 Chevy (5) window coupe (350 TPI/700R4) and 1934 (3) window coupe, the 34 is an old 80's build with a great running 307 and 350THM. Thinking a 348 would look great in the 34 in front of a 700R4.
Just started my "W" search and will be seeking casting number preferences etc at some point in the future.
Glad to see this specialty forum for the 348-409..I have a specialty forum for the GM 3500HD series trucks at www.3500HD.com and will be posting a forum link.
