niceee! around how much does the old 427 or the one without the blower sell for? it's only been a year since I have been looking but never saw one on ebay so I dont really know whats a good or bad price? any help?

Tekne10, not sure if the question is for me... I go by Igg not Niceee... Lol

Most Conley's I've seen on eBay or sold have started at 2500 and have gone up to 4-5K depending if blower or no blower...

I seen this one at a car show. It was sitting on a table top. I even touched it when the owner wasn't looking!!! LOL

Hey guys, a question popped in my mind yesterday - Is there any 1/4 car except conley's t-bucket, 34 ford and the "Grave Digger" on youtube that has a Conley 609 in it?

Just curious... any pics if you have would be great

Thay are true works off art.
A good mate of mine has two . And it wasn't till I seen them that you really see the detail in his work. The blower the headers the hole motors are just Wow . And the fact that thay runn snd eork is outstanding. ...one item I know I could never own but would like to. .. owe to get the lottery numbers right then I would. ..
Great pics guys....

Some great looking builds ,,A Conley engine is on my list .
Can someone give a opinion on performance of these V8 engines?
I have seen a lot on YouTube running on the bench ,but how responsive are they in a 20-30lb hotrod for example ? I mean will they push the car with some authority ?

They are a novelty item and I would not recommend running them often. They also spit nitro fuel over everything.

Thanks Mike I thought as much ,,I wonder though if the new 609 gas would be an improved engine,,I have seen them in big 1/4 trucks running on YouTube ,,but yeah looked to be struggling ..

[Mike Casey]

The main problem is parts availability. If you break something on the motor, you most likely will not be able to get parts.

[Bigblock]

No parts available that is disheartening ,,

I thought some of you might enjoy these pictures. The 4 to 1 is not complete yet, but should be done soon.
