429 in the future
 
Just purchased a 1970 thunderbird from my wifes uncle and it has a 78000 mils 429. Will drive it home sunday for 225.00. Want to cut it up for the 429,c6,and the 9 inch. I own an FFR with lotsa goodies but for the powerplant i have a 306 w/fully ported dart heads and a vortech s trim on it. I choose to run a lentech auto with a 3500 converter and 4:10 rears, the car is a blast and wicked fast. I need some input on the 429, this is what i have planned.


full roller motor cam.rockers,lifters,stud girdles,gear drive
stock fully ported heads
10:1 comp forged
probe industries spyder intake EFI
42 lb inj
stock computer for 5.0

Well i think you get the pic, its a nasty one and big $ for me. its gonna take some tome but its my next step for the drug called speed. Im gonna use the aod and the 3500 stall should be wild?

If your going to tear into it right away anyway, why not put a 460 crank or 514 stroker crank in it and make it "bigger". Its all the same block.
