348/409 in a Deuce?
I have a friend who's building a car & wants to run the 348 he has in his garage. Also has a 409 but it's earmarked for the bubble top.
Here's my question.
Will a 348 or the 409 fit & still run hood sides? I've looked that the new July 08 Street Rodder mag (page 158) & there one in there but no side panels.
Will it clear & anyone have pics?
Headers? What will work & miss the frame?
He needs pics.Last edited by Steves32; 06-04-2008 at 08:17 AM.

IMHO if your going to put a 348/409 in a Deuce, I would not cover it up with hood sides.. They are a bit wide so I don't think sides will work w/o ressesses in the hood sides.. Nitrofc who used to be on here had a '32 with a 348 in it, no hood sides and IIRC stock manifolds. he was banned so I can't find a picYou don't know what you've got til it's gone

Hey Deuce- I've seen that green one before. GNRS 08?
Good to know on the hood sides. He's pretty fixed on running them.

This 5 window from England has a 409 fitted. It looks like stock hood sides don't fit without a blister panel. Probably to clear exhaust manifold.

on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups. a deuce will just need manual brakes...
Time for brakes
