She's Real Fine My 409
A great history on 409 refinements through the years to make it perform, competitive and iconic. The Beach Boys song help popularize the engine as well and a great tune. Verne would have appreciated and added to this thread ...

Doing my best to channel Verne Frantz here ....
There are some parts of the story concerning the 1961 409s that are either misleading or inaccurate. Chevrolet had to cast an entirely new block for the 61 409s since simply boring the old 348 block left the cylinder walls too thin. Camshaft, pushrods, valve springs, and oil pan were all different. And the 409 was available in more body styles than just the new-for-61 Impala SS.
