Unfortunately the 4Gs came with an attached aluminum tag that contained the pertinent info, and the tags were prone to being damaged or disappearing. 8^( I keep my eyes open at swap meets so maybe if I find one that still has its tag I'll take a flyer on it. Of course, there's no guarantee it's the correct tag!
I don't know if 4Gs were used on 348s and 409s but if they were I think one would be able to feed a low-RPM 350. Then again, the other thing I want to do to this engine is stuff in an absurdly cam and top it with a Performer RPM or single-plane intake... ;^) Brad > Makes sense to me, although I seem to recall hearing that these oldies were > getting expensive -- probably from someone who wanted to sell one to a > restorer.
