but they never left circular marks like on Bob's block [/ QUOTE ] I have pictures of great planing marks from Tonawanda too...but I will post more pics of other '09's from Verne later..Take the blinders off fellas..maybe that 74 degree deck was cause for a different method.

Bob, like I said, I don't know anything about pre '66 cars, so I'm just saying that it "appears" to have been machined and that I have never heard of any factory decking process other than broaching. I've posted the question on a private site that I am a member of for John H. or Art A. to respond to and will post their replies. Maybe we'll learn something new

That would be interesting...the pics I have of mine and a couple from Verne show the same method
Plus I would never let a Corvette judge look at it...

Ill bet it was just sanded and cleaned up a little to change the gasket..to light for machining..looks like the guy was right handed..

Cool...pick their brain on 409's...see if there was a different method ...all the examples I've seen are like the above...keep the Vette guys by your place and entertain them.
....BTW very cool pic of the broaching machine on that link...thats a 90 degree deck angle so I am really curious about the 74 degree now unlees that thing was adjustable which I doubt.
