    Hipo 289 Induction

    With the Shelby manifold and 715 Holley you have a classic combination that works very well. The dual quad setup definitly has the wow factor and when setup properly really needs no adjusting.If you run vaccum secondaries with progressive linkage on the primaries you are running on the 2 front...

    Base model 69 fastback to BOSS 429 conversion - How costly of a conversion?

    Attack of the clone! With the ever increasing value of Boss 429's,I too have thought of building a tribute car to drive so I can park my original. The cost of using a Boss 429 engine would be the most expensive part of the project at around $40,000.00 for a good one producing 650 to 700 HP...

    BEST MUSTANG OF ALL TIME!!?

    Just my opinion,but all of the best looking Mustangs have 4 headlamps or fog lights in the grill looking like 4 eyes(even the new ones)

    Disc Brake Swap Opinion

    The Baer system works great,but you will need those 17 in rims to clear the calipers.There is no such thing as overkill when it comes to brakes or horsepower,its all what you can afford.Go for it!

    Whats your favorite era?

    No prob!! I like them all,but I am out of garage space.I consider myself fortunate to have been able to buy the Boss new and hang onto it.In 1969 there were muscle cars everywhere and we raced all the time.The Boss held its own back in the day and it was a lot of fun.Today I wouldn't dare street...

    Whats your favorite era?

    Well, I truthfully have not made a 1/4 mi pass with the upgrades,but when I bought it in 1969 I put on headers,some distributor work,and borrowed some slicks and ran a 12.48 at 116 mph.The engine now dynos at 600 hp so if I can get it to hook up I'm thinking 10's. What do you think...

    Stainless or JetHot?

    Well,they don't make them anymore either!My next project(my wife thinks its hers) is a 1971 Pinto Runabout,full cage,289,C-4.With 400hp at 2500lbs it will be a blast.

    Stainless or JetHot?

    So,how many times are you going to do this? Besides,the Jet Hot coating will look better,that is unless you are going to polish the stainless.Just my 2 cents,I was looking for the ultimate in longevity!

    Stainless or JetHot?

    Go stainless with the Jet Hot coating,that's what I did.Hey,its only money,how many of these are you going to build.I had them coat my intake manifold as well,better than polished alum.easier to clean,and looks good.www.1969boss429.com

    1969 Mach 1 "Blackened"

    Short backstory The short version is that I bought the Boss new in 1969,logged 14,000 miles on it (a good many of them in 1/4 mi increments) then parked it for about 30 years.Spent the last couple getting it back in shape and adding some unique features as well as 600hp.It was fast when it was...
