That Altered is pretty special, I bet it's a hoot to pilot!

Ray (Fatride) will like that 1960, and get you to plop a "W" back in place

.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome Wilson!!!! Good to see another '60 on the forum, but you just HAVE to get a 348 back in there!!!!!!!!!!! By the way, both cars are very nice! (From another old fart that will be 74 next month)

Wow, nice ride Fathead - I would love to get a "W' back into the car. I keep looking for a 409, but it is not like they are on every corner. If I find one I can afford, I will for sure jump on it. All my buds want me to put a big block in the car. The only big block going in the car will be a 409, did I mention out to a 427? I always keep a few Benjamin's tucked away just in case I run across one so I can secure the deal.

Tom Kochtanek · Aug 13, 2015

You can locate a 348 a lot quicker than a 409 and for less dollars, but you can spend the same amount on both when rebuilding. Either way, you will have that "W" look as opposed to the SBC or BBC look, which is a bit more common (huge understatement!)

.

Where are you located. We have members all over the country and beyond.

Cheers!

Tom - I am located in Salt Lake City... I totally agree there is nothing like opening the hood of an early Chevy and seeing a 409/348 motor.... It is just the Shizzle!!!

Great cars! Like Tom said, a 348 would be a much cheaper and easier to find core. You can build 434+ cubic inches from one. Nothing at all wrong with that.
