While tripping merrily through the mail, TOM COLLINS was overheard
TC> Bored, stroked and injected? A 409?
TC> Where did the fuel injection system come from? Who stroked the crank?
TC> How much did they increase it? How large was the bore afterwards? (A
TC> 409 piston is already larger than a 454 big block.)
He never told me, it wasn't my car. The only reason I even mentioned it
is was because someone was looking for the definition of a "sleeper".
TC> And......most important.........where is it now?
Probably wrapped around a tree somewhere :-) I haven't seen it or him in
30 years! If it still exists, it may be around Jackson MI somewhere (that's
where he was from, his dad was some sort of vice-president of Tecumseh
Power products)
TC> ... Happiness is a 62 Belair Sport Coupe with a 409/409hp engine.
Closest I came myself was when I inherted my grandfather's '62 Impala Sport
Coupe (autumn gold, weren't they all?) with a 283 :-)
Don
... Where are we going?... and why am I in this handbasket?
