Boss 429

[JRWCOBRA]

I saw this on Gears TV show and thought this may be of some
interest. Jon Kaase has a Boss 429 top end that bolts
to a 460 block.

If these were available when building the motor for my car you can bet mine would be a Boss.Having a big block for me is mandatory making it a Boss anyway.

Hey guys makes no difference on size weather it is a 429 or 460 so although it is nice to build a Boss 429 it will not fit in most Cobras without a lot of modification to foot boxes and then the issue of height unless you don't mind a tall hood scoop. They are cool engines. Had a 1970 Boss 429 Mustang in the late 80s....

This I agree with since my 460 is a shoe horn fit.Was also considering a Cammer for the Cobra,was told up front it was wider and my not work.

A Cammer will fit just look at Jay Leno's Cobra looks nice in there.

A cammer fits, at least in an original Cobra. Attached is a pic of Carter Gette's (RIP) cammer-equipped 427 roadster circa 1974.
