According to https://www.macsmotorcitygarage.com/ins ... vy-409-v8/ the 409 wasnt necessary bored and stroked though they can be.

The 409 was basically a bored and stoked 348. Chevy didn't quite do it that way when they made the 409, but one could.

True. My LBC has a 2L inline 6 so 409 cid is huge.

Oh, I disagree.

If you need to know what a coreopsis is, you can just ask your roommate or someone who gardens. But to find out who the last guy who hit .400 was you have to find someone who follows football or basketball or something. And, realistically, how likely are you to run across someone like that in your average workweek?
