He got the 425hp. I seem to recall hearing you first had to select the base 409 then "step up" to the high HP version.

So what 409 did he get with that car order ? There are two marked down 400 and 425 hp.
My 63 Belair (window sticker) sold in Detroit shows:
L31S Turbo Fire 409 eng 320.65
L80A Dual 4 Barrell Carb 56.00
The L31 is the 400 motor and the dual 4 Barrell carbs made it 425 hp
Not sure how they were ordered in Canada
surprising what 56.00 would get you 50 yrs ago , a differnent intake manifold and an extra 4 barrel and not to mention the extra cash asked for a 409 ................
