As I recall, those engines were originally truck engines (W block?) although that doesn't mean much. You could order early-mid '60s Chevy cars with them, they also could be ordered with dual quads I think.
My high school buddy's older brother bought a new stripped '68 Nova, built a 409 with quads from the block up and dropped it in, beefing up everything else.
It was a total sleeper except for the exhaust note and big tires in the back.

If I recall correctly, the 409 was a "square" motor. As in the stroke equaled the bore.
