A 348 W motor is the baby cousin of a the Chevrolet 409 engine.. they basically look the same on the outside. I'm using it more for the look than anything. they called it a W motor because of the shape of the head/ valve cover (I think, correct me if I'm wrong). I want a 409 but can't afford one so 348 it is!!!
