Hello Greg, we could buy it together so the seller could ship it to your
address in UK and you could keep the box whilst I'd love the engine! What
would you think of this?

Ciao

Hi All,

from the pictures it looks like a "wedge" engine.
Does these engines fit in a Bristol 407 - 410

Unfortunately, I am not a Bristol expert. However, I am pretty sure that
early model V8's were "Polysphere" 313's and 318's. About 1967 or 1968,
Mopar switched from the Polysphere engine to a smaller wedge head engine.
This engine evolved into the 340 and 360 cubic inch engines.

According to Setright's "LITTLE RED BOOK", the 407, 408, and probably 409
should have been Polysphere engines. The 410 could have been either
engine, but I would "guess" that it was the small block wedge head engine. The
engine for sale has rectangular valve covers and is definitely a late wedge
head. The Polysphere engine has different looking valve covers.

Of course, the 411 is a completely different animal with the 383.
