    409 in a 30's chevy?

     



    Just got a 409(409HP engine) and I'm thinking of putting it into a 30's chevy truck. Need to know if anyone's done this swap and if so any problems with fitting w/o cutting fender wells or firewall?

    I wouldn't think twice about firing up the Sawzall to make a 409 fit into an early Chevy.
