429/460 into a '71 fastback
Hey guys, first post here and maybe lookin for some expertise. I have gotten my hands on a free 429 or 460 (not quite sure yet havent actually seen the block and owner knows nothing about engines). Anyone know what exactly I would need to drop that engine into a 1971 Mustang Fastback? Currently my car has a 302 with a C4 trans. Any ideas or thoughts would be helpful. Thanks.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I would find out what kind of engine it is before I made any plans. It could be a 302 or 351 or 390 or It might not even be a Ford engine." Im gone'
Damn, that's something I didn't want to hear. I'm glad I got to meet him and Rosie and Rick. I'm proud to have had him as a friend, RIP Johnboy
