    engine swap question

    The guy I bought the 429 from said he has a 9" off a 70's t-bird and is just going to give it to me but i'm waiting to get the measurements from him before I drive the 2hrs to pick it up. And yes the other guy said it was a Versailles 9".

    engine swap question

    thanks for the links, the 9" im looking at is 58.5" and I think my rear is just a hair over 59" so I'll keep looking for another 9".

    engine swap question

    I'm in the process of restoring a 69 mustang. It started life as a I6 and currently holds what is believed to be a 289. I'm thinking about picking up a running 429 for $400. my question is, would the 429 fit in what was once a I6 car or am I biting off too much? I dont see the car being drivable...

    It was quite dark when we got to where the car is, all I could find for numbers was 289 stamped on the intake. thats fine with me, at least its not the inline 6. I was able to talk the owner down to 1500 delivered because he was unsure where the tail lights, the cowl behind the hood, hood scoop...
