Opinions on my 409 plans? I want the ultimate sleeper. I plan to start a stroker build up when the Cola cranks come out. I'm planning on an iron block 409 (already have the block). What kind of drivability would it have on the street (A4, TP4400, 3.73's) with a smaller cam? I'm thinking a MMS229 w/ GTP or JPR S2 heads. Or even keep my 226/.570. I just want it to idle well, sound almost stock, but make major power. I might even spray a 200 shot for the heck of it after I get a built tranny. I definatly want a sleeper that can win me some $$. Opinions?

Re: Opinions on my 409 plans? I want the ultimate sleeper. The key is a quiet exhaust with a power cut-out for when the $$ is already on the table. A good idleing cam will help too. MMS 229 would probably be a good compromise.
YTP 4400 will stall too high. A PYE 3600 would be a better choice if you keep the power down low by using a smallish cam.
