Re: '68 Baldwin Motion Impala in the new SC
Joe, I think musclebarge is good ! Later 409 blocks were much better pieces than the early ones.Milodon made a "girdle" for the bottom end to try and give it more strength years ago. I think the main drawback to the design had to be the 74 degree deck angle to accomodate combustion chambers in the block rather than in the head. There is not much headwork that can be done to make them breathe any better.I have a 63 dated QB shortblock sitting under my bench that I may sell if anyone has an old Chris Craft in need of a good anchor.

Don't mess with old farts - age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and experience.
