Original paint '62 409hp 409

[442w30]

Are there signs that would distinguish a 409/380 from a 409/409? Or the tell-tale signs the same?

The ONLY things that would be different between a 380hp and a 409hp would be the throttle rod from the arm, the hot air choke tube from the carb to the manifold and the fuel line from the pump to the carb. I actually am concerned about even posting this info.

Obviously, the intake, carb(s), linkage, return springs, air cleaner and valve cover decals are also different but those are no a brainer.
