4 Bolt 429 and New SCJ Heads
4 bolt 429's are hard to find. You can scour the junkyards, but your best bet is e bay. They go for about $900 or so. I picked one up off e bay for $450, but that was a few years ago. Casting # should be D0VE-A. My recommendation - if you can swing it, get the iron block from Ford that you can bore and stroke to 600+ cubic inches. It will set you back $2200 or so.
SCJ heads are easier to come by, of course. Had a pair of these, too. Only potential problem is pistons - when I was building my engine about 9 months ago, no one made pistons with correct valve reliefs (the valves have been moved from their original positions) and had to purchase a tool to cut the reliefs myself. If I had to do it all over again, I would buy the heads complete instead of bare and would get custom pistons instead of cutting the ones I had.
BTW - if anyone needs to cut their pistons for SCJ valve reliefs, I'll sell my cutter cheap.
