429 build questions.
My bro-in-law has a 429 in a 67 or 68 something TBird.
He is wanting to yank it and scrap most of the internals, keeping the crank block and heads to drop in a hot rod truck he is working on.
He wants to get at least 600+ horses without resorting to anything too exotic, such as a super charger or nitrous.
My question is - with all the available parts for the engine, such as pistons, cams and valves etc, what should he (we, I'll prolly help out on this one )plan on for pistons, the cam, valve sizing etc to reach his goal of a big horse carbed 429?wise man says WHEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
