Any fox body bigblock racers?
 
Any of ya run big blocks on your foxes? Just curious how they really run and handle out on the street. Im thinking of getting a mustang or capri, and doing a swap, but I have a '69 429 already with the D0VE-C heads. If its too insane I might just sell it the engine and trans off for a windsor to build.

it would be cool... go for it... can build LOTS of HP with that engine... :-) there are swap kits too...

look for kiddot on stangnet.... he has done the swap already... :-)

Thnx for the tip, I found a post he replied to, and he's got a beast. I emailed him, hopefully Ill find something out, either build it or go join the house of windsor.

Hmm, what do you do for power brakes, obviously the booster isnt gonna clear. Hydraboost? and from what?

That looks crazy, and sounds amazing. As for brakes you use a parachute (sp?) lol If you decide afterwords to sell the 429 give me a shout, I may be interested. :D You can never go to fast.

I used manual brakes in mine but I believe the 86 & up 5.0 brake booster does clear.

It only clears if you run the stock (short) valve covers. But then the valve covers don't clear the roller rockers.
