1968 Big Block 429 Help??

[TurboNG]

What HP these good for? Came out of a Cougar
Pros, Cons, problems w/ dropping into a fox?

[Stangman]

I think they were rated at 365hp... in '69 they SHOULD have 11.1 compression. Runs on leaded gas.

Fox headers are 250-300 used... I got lucky and found a 460 with the pan and mounts for 150 a few years back... then got lucky on here and found the headers for 250.

Everyone keeps tellin me I'm stupid to put one in a fox.

Metcalf is a big block guy. Check with him. Jesse did you get those bearings I had layin here? I havent been back out there to put everything up yet so I wasnt sure. I've always wanted a BB Mustang!!

[Stangman]

Yep, you gave em to me when I was out there last... Get your car rolling yet?

[TurboNG]

I want to know how much HP and RPMs they can hold before going BOOM!

[mustangboy]

I believe stock rod/rod bolts are the limiting factor. A stocker should still be able to handle a good shot of juice as long as you keep the rpm's down. Blocks themselves are good to at least 800hp.

First of all, i'm sure you already know this, but FUCK everyone else :bigthumb

You can argue that a built small block in a Fox might be faster, but it won't have half the cool factor...not even close. I don't think my only "toy" could be a big block car but if i could afford to have two of them i would absolutely stuff a 514 into one. I don't even care if it hooked like crap and was slow...just the cool factor of a huge nasty cammed to hell and back big block making retarded amounts of torque is enough for me.

Do you even have a driveshaft yet to connect it all together and make it drive?
