429swap

[mustangII460]

It is a pretty straight forward swap.

429's came in 70-73 Stangs. Plenty wide engine bay. If you bought a BOSS 429 The towers would need to be cut,your talking lots of money to run a BOSS. The BOSS is not of the 385 series 429/460 Big Ford family,(Its Bigger.)

Cross member for the C6,motor mounts for the 429/460 from local parts house. Headers can be had from Headman. I cannot remember but I think driveshaft will work. Using the shorter of the C-6 yokes,may be wrong.

Also consider 720 lbs of motor -vs- 500 something for the 302. You may need to change coil springs. It wont handle the same or even stop the same,but who cares its a 429.

Big Blocks are Big Fun !
