If the blower doesn't work out for you, the 2X4 setups are pretty common, and with an imaginative fiber glass scopp, it could look wild! You could even hide a large air cleaner inside. An easier "look" would be the scoops that look like the old hilborn upright from the mid sixties, but fit 2X4s.

BTW, You can machine a 454 crank to fit into that block. It becomes a "stroker crank" for the '09. It takes a lot of work, but could boost cubic inches a lot.

Some other parts will interchange from small and big block Chevy's.

yep some stuff can be used from the 454 crank needs some work turn the mains and nose down .stock 396/502 rods can be used .Ross makes a piston for this .i re work his oil pan with a 454 oil pan .they now make valves. and rockers .now for them .someone now may make a low dollar stroker crank ?.were they seamed to hit the wall is the stock heads. and they now make heads for them .guy named waldell ? spelled wrong .he make s alot of stuff for them

Edelbrock I believe also brought their heads back out.

Tell you what. I like digging. Maybe I will run a running parts list for these motors in another thread for future reference?

I think they can "offset grind" the throws to a smaller journal size, which moves the center of the rod journals farther from the crank. I can't swear to it, but I think 500 inches was possible.

I didn't know there were aftermarket parts available any more. At one time I had several motors, a cross ram, and all of the factory manifolds, several brands of valve covers, a Vertex mag, and a couple used aftermarket cams. I sold it all, plus a few '61-'63 cars, to be in the custom paint biz.

Here is one of them.
