    429, good or bad idea??

    basic knowledge for installing goodies, no cutting done anywhere on the car for the motor/trans to fit, you can use an AOD driveshaft and have it shortened and a new yoke put on, as well as build your own serpentine setup from the 5.0 parts like i did. its a straight forward swap, probably just...

    429, good or bad idea??

    Actually if you read the thing, they both are car blocks, (yeah they actually put the 460 in cars like the lincoln continental like the one i have) and as for the chevy 427, all i have to say is 1969 BOSS 429.....................

    429, good or bad idea??

    Really....... lol you're new on here, when i brought this up in 2004, i had soo much crap about it not being streetable, being TOO EXPENSIVE, too heavy, etc. I set out to prove everyone wrong, and i did. The swap cost me $6500 for everything, thats building the motor from the ground up...

    429, good or bad idea??

    i can tell most of you bashing bb motors have never owned one or built one, there very cheap, and can stand up to LOTS of punishment. Oh and my swap costed me about $6500 for everything, i do have connections at ford racing too. If your building this for a DD, then forget it. If its a...

    STROKER INSTALL WRITEUP???

    The heads are not a weak link, the pistons and rods are. We have a girl racing a turboed BBF on the 460ford forums with over 1,000 hp and using the stock crank with good rods and forged pistons to prove how good stock parts are, they did several runs down the track, tore it down and the crank...

    New guy lookin for opinions on 5.0s

    torque monsters......lol and Ask them about their opti-spark :( Foxes are cheap to mod, thats why everyone likes them. Foxes are nice cars in general, and can be made to include nicer comforts such as SN95 seat swaps, which i will be doing, they bolt right in. Nice ones are a very rare...

    New idea for the 2005 mustang, tell me what you think

    I put up some better pics now that this project is further along, this more accurately depicts what the actual product will look like compare to those crappy concept pics i came up with back in 2005. Still think they don't look good???? :) They also come in black and carbon fiber (real carbon...

    Just went for a drive with the new side exit system with super 40 flows....... ITS LOUD, quiet when cruising and loud when you get on the gas, and very very very very very deep. Its exactly what i was after. No pics yet, but the box tips are angle cut to match the body lines, it looks...

    Going big... 460 big.

    since the car is strip only, are you doing 1/4 or 1/8 mile? If 1/8th, i would go with a glide.

    Flowmaster super 40s....anyone heard them yet?

    I can't quite tell from the vid, but are they about as loud as the original 40s but just deeper, less tinny sounding? Sounded great though, should sound pretty mean on my car. Heard some delta 40s (quiet ones) on a blown 440 today at my buddies house, sounded insane, not too loud, but super...
