There's a guy from Wheatley that has Fox body stang with a 429 in it. Trust me, they may make only 370 horse, but try 460+ lb/ft of torque, unmodified. Then if you find a gem of a SCJ you'd be set. I've tried getting my oldest brother to sell me the 429CJ in his 70 Torino GT Convertible, but he's restoring it, so I'm stuck with my 5.0L.

Just like Unit said tho, you have to get the CJ or SCJ, the base or Thunderjet isn't all that great, didn't make much power for such a big cube engine. I'd say call that ad, and see what its all about, and find out what castings the heads are, etc..
