Contrast that with a big ass Impala with a 283 two speed automatic. Total pigshit! A high school friend had one. What a dog! https://www.pinterest.com/pin/190699365441704264/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted October 15, 2021 Share #8 Posted October 15, 2021 I worked at a Chevy dealership as a parts man and we had some really goofy looking gaskets hanging on the wall. I asked one of the mechanics what they were for and he said a 409. They were not marked or in a package of any kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a temporary solution and what was learned led to more than one variant of the 427 high performance engine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted October 15, 2021 Share #10 Posted October 15, 2021 It was an interesting design however. There was almost no combustion chamber in the cylinder head. The chamber was formed by the top of the piston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
