rebuilding a 429
 
I am rebuilding a 429 motor and I wanted to know what kind of horsepower I can expect. It is a 429 BB with forged everything and tunnel ram with 2 750cfm speed demons. I don't know what brand of tunnel ram I should use or what cam - any suggestions? There are a lot of things I need to do, but if anybody could give me any help or information, it would help out alot.
Also, I am hoping to put the motor in a 67-70 fastback or 69-70 mach 1. Will this be hard to do? Thanks.

Rd:
I'll give you my 2 cents. On the cam, I would call the cam manufacturer you want and ask them what to use. Further, have them sell you the valve springs and lifters. Tell them what you have, what it is going in, and what kind of driving you want to do. I have heard of people putting 429/460's in 67 and later mustangs with out much problem. The tunnel ram will require the hood to be chopped.
It sounds good. I would love to do something with a tunnelram. Maybe someyear.
