My dream Vette growing up was 67 Crystal Blue with a 427. An Officer at West Point, era late 70s, had a Silver 427 with side pipes that would occasionally be warming up while I delivered newspapers. Beautiful Corvette.

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

Impala with a 409 engine. Looked the same as the late 50s 348 block. "W" heads (valve covers) on both. |

I remember back then a high HP 409 was considered a serious contender for a good fast street car. Then the GTO came out and was followed by the other company's putting out muscle cars. The 409 lost a lot of its luster (and street races then)

I my be mistaken but I think the 409s were wider than even the later 396/427s and would not fit in the stock engine compartment of a C1 or midyear.
