69 t-bird with a 429
Found this t-bird in the salvage yard. looks like someone has rebuilt the engine. new paint, new gaskets where they belong, clean inside the valve covers, looks like it has been rebuilt.
The yard want $600 for the whole car. engine transmission and everything.
good deal, ok deal or steer clear of it?
Reason I am looking at the engine.... I want to put it into a 57 ford PU short bed..
any one know how much trouble I am going to have with the exhast manifolds and how much trouble I am going to have sticking it in the truck.
I did see a motor mounts and a transmission mounts for a 429 engine and auto tranny in MAC's ford catolog for the 57 that would ease the mounting problems but I was wondering where the exhasut would end up going......
got any suggestions
thanks
Thanks Glenn, it’s believed to be a Gen 5. 454. I’ll see if I can snap some pics of the stamped and cast numbers and post them here. Maybe we can define the year and model
