I've been considering developing a 429/460 based crate engine specifically for the Cobra market, and I'm looking for some input of what you guys would like to see.
-Aluminum heads or iron?
-429, 460, 514, 521?
-Does idle quality/vacuum play a role for you guys?
-Flat tappet or roller cam?
-Hydrualic or solid tappets?
-Price point?
-Manifold hieght?
-Aluminum water pump or iron?
-
Oil pan included? (if so, what type?)
At this point I have a 429 package that I think would be a good place to start. Please let me know if this is in the right direction, or what changes you would like to see.
-429 CID (435-437 CID with overbore for cleanup)
-Forged pistons
-H beam rods
-Hydraulic flat tappet cam
-Aluminum heads
-Roller rockers
-Single plane intake (Torker II)
-Compatible with unleaded premium
-Projected power of 542 lb/ft @4500rpm and 580hp at 6500rpm
-Projected price of $5300.00
Thanks in advance for any advise you can offer.
