429 Thunderjet
Hello, I have a 1971 Ford Thunderbird that I had to pull the engine out for a rebuild. Its all original with 38000 miles. My question is while I have the engine out maybe trying for a little more horsepower. Not looking to take it to the drag strip. Sort of looking keeping the engine stock looking. I read where changing the cam / timing chain / head work will give the 429 some more horse power. Can anyone be specific on exactly what I should be looking for? (Maybe Summit Part Numbers). Keep in mind that "Pony Carburetor" just rebuilt the original carburetor that I might want to use on the rebuild. I believe its a Autolight 4300. Mostly I would like the air filter to go back on. I am open for suggestions from modest to the most.
Thanks.
Hey Guys. I was hoping for more than one opinion on this rebuild. Any one else have two cents to throw in?Last edited by Mojoedead; 03-24-2009 at 02:49 PM.

Another question, I was told this engine takes 6 quarts of oil. Is that correct? It's a remanufactured 350 with stock pan.
