I have just ordered a Hurricane and I will be using the 429 with the C6 auto in it. Don't worry about power with your 429 , you can get more than you would ever want. Go to 460ford.com and read all about it.Nice thing about the 429 is you can buy stroker kits which will take you out over 500 cu inches cheap and all kinds of good heads and intakes are available.

I'm not building a roadster (doing a coupe instead) but if i were to do one, i'd most definately go with Unique. The only difference would be an FIA 289 car. I just love that car over the more popular 427 S/C.

Good luck with whatever kit you decide to do.

We just dynoed the BB ford at 700hp and 700ft lbs. Plus 150hp NOS. Had to move motor mounts back half an inch to acommadate march belt system.
We are using a hurricane frame but modified it with gussets and two more cross members and a complete aluminium consel and dash.

George you might want to go to the Western States Cobra Bash in Sparks Nevada in May to look at a bunch of different brands in one place. There is a link on this site that will give you all the info. It would be a great chance to look at as well as talk to owners about their experiance building the cars.

Good luck in your search,
