All Canadian Final at the 348/409 Shootout
Permalink  

We had the 61 Pontiac and the 55 Chevy at 348/409 Shootout this past weekend. Good luck was on our side and both cars made it through to the finals. (photo by Jim Madigan)

 

 

 

It was a really close race but the 55 Chevy got the win. By the way, the race was only 1/8th mile.

Here's a link to a video of the race...

 Were there any 348's that run down the track ?

 There has been 348's in other years but I think it was all 409's this year.

We used to have a stroked 348 in the 55 Chevy. That engine ran really good but then the cam went and we transfered all the parts into a 409 block.

The 348, stroked to 437ci actually ran more mph than the 476ci 409 but the 476ci 409 ran a slightly quicker et.

The best et with the 348 was 10.37 @ 129mph and that was in hot weather so I'm sure it would have run a tenth or more quicker in cool air.
