    Opinions on 429 - Coworker is selling

    I found out abit more about it today. The 28 degree was the grind on the head itself. They ground down the head so it sits on the block @ 28 degrees. He said he wasn't to sure about having to modify an intake to fit the angled heads, but if it did a machine shop could do it. Also It's .030...

    That's what I meant raise compression. They are stock heads (I think). He said that was theoratical HP. I'm not sure how he came up with the #, but said he used to have it in his Bronco. The 700 HP was with a custom "gorilla" cam, and the intake/carb he already sold.

    Ok. If the other guy doesn't pick it up I'll give him cash on Tuesday. Something about he has dibs or "I keep my word" or sum ****. I don't know. If it's not gone on Tuesday I'll post pics.

    not $500. He's got about $5000 into the heads.. Said he's got about $6K total into the engine, but it's been sitting in his garage for about 8-9 years and he just wants to get ride of it. The heads have been ported/polished with the exhaust valves being way oversized. Some kind of valve...

    no. We're both techs. We B.S. every now and then about stuff and you can tell he is very maticulous about his work. Probably one of the most detail oriented guys in the shop. I trust that he would let me know of something before he sold it me.

    I think that's backwards lol. I have to buy a c6, wide band gears, carb, intake, etc. That's why I'm pondering the idea a bit.

    I posted this in 5.0 but nt much help It's a 1969 429 it's currently not assembled but has completely rebuilt. The pistons and crank are stock. IIRC he said it wasn't a 4 bolt and was rebuilt about 10 years ago when .02 bearings where still available. There is some minor rust on the crank...

    Anyone swap 87-90 fenders with 91-93???

    I haven't measured anywhere else besides the center of the fender just above the tire.. Consensus is that everything else will line up and look at the same..I.E. ground effects, the bottom of the front bumper will line up and end at the same spot as the larger fender. ETC, ETC.

    Anyone swap 87-90 fenders with 91-93???

    Clearance is most defiently not an issue, and which ever way I go the other side will be the same. I have a driver side freebie 90-93, so I was thinking about going this route. My issue is if there is a difference in look from front to rear with the swap.

    Anyone swap 87-90 fenders with 91-93???

    My neighbor gave me a front fender off a 91-93. I know this because I measured mine and compared it to his. Around the wheel it's 1/4 of a difference. Anyways the 91-93 seem to be easier to find in decent shape and I was thinking about just searching for another. My question is have you seen...

    460

    well chit. What if I find a junk yard factory 460 trans and bolted it up? All this talk about setting up my drivetrain is giving me a headache lol. What about the rest of the cost? I.E. heads/cam? Will the stock lower end hold 450-500? Assuming of course there isn't much taper. Here's another...

    460

    Yea I kinda figured the T5 would need a rebuild. New syncros are around $150 for some really good ones and I wouldn't imagine the gears costing more than 300-400, so that would be ok with me. I'm trying to figure out if the 460 swap would be very cost effective. I'm getting the longblock with...

    460

    I posted this in foxbody area with no luck, maybe I can get some help here. 89 GT, T5, 302 I've come across a 460 on a real good deal, before I jump on this I have a few questions. A few things to note. I can get a bellhousing for $75 with no forks. I'm looking for around 450-500 H.P...

    460 BBF swap

    no one has any clues? I almost forgot. If the bellhousing does fit for the T5 than I assume the tranny mount will also bolt right up as well? The name slips my mind right now but I just spent $75 for the crossmember that holds the tranny up. (Trans mount maybe) and what about exhaust prices...

    460 BBF swap

    I've come across a 460 on a real good deal, before I jump on this I have a few questions. A few things to note. I can get a bellhousing for $75 with no forks. I'm looking for around 450 H.P. 1.) If I purchase a new flywheel/clutch/fork will the bellhousing bolt up to an 89 T5 no problems...
