look at our fancy new boat anchor Reply #16 – October 06, 2008, 05:53:06 PM Truck 409s aren't real desirable, the blocks have a relief cut into them to lower compression. Also the front dress and oil pan has to come from a car to fit in most chassis. They have a different deck height which makes them unique. It's kind of like the old Dodge and DeSoto Hemi engines. Yep they look good, but they're oddball enough that finding parts is nearly impossible. They go for about $500 or less usually, but the fact yours turns over (and has a fresh oil leak :D ) means that it may go for a little more. Good score! Quote Selected
