348s and 409s!! Fond memories from George Ray's outlaw dragstrip at Paragould, Arkansas in the early 1960s. We used several 348s and 409s in several cars. Power was there when set up right but one had to be a bit careful with them. Wrapping one up without a load on it (missed shift, etc) generally resulted in interior components catastrophically rearranging themselves or, in one rather spectacular case, entirely departing the vehicle.
