nice project.i did this in 2008 on a 68 coupe,now redoing entire car.what headers and mounts are you using?i wouldnt use the stock type mounts as thy move the engine forward and up about an inch.the crites gen 2 mounts work the best if you can find them.and thats the problem,hedman use to make nice headers for this and stopped a long time ago.make sure you leave enough room to remove valve covers.also,the mount for the lower control arm needs to be trimed on top to clear the headers.i run the stock control arms and and moroso drag springs,close to shock tower.

Chat GPT to the rescue:
"It looks like there's a motorcycle with a fairing in the house, but I'm probably just seeing things, lol.
Oh yeah, you really do have a single overhead cam engine. It's truly a genuine Boss 429. Most people call the standard in-block cam engine a Boss 429 if it has a 4-barrel carburetor, but you have the real thing. Don't ever sell it unless you give me a chance to buy it. I would probably just leave it on the run platform and start it once in a while. Man, it's been a long time since I've seen one of these, but you've made my day. I'm a lover of iron. Don't ever put that back in a car again; you're liable to hurt or abuse it. I still can't believe I've seen one again in my lifetime. They give a new meaning to rare, if you know what I mean. Okay, I'm going to stop reminiscing now. You see, I had one once upon a time until the judge ruled against me in a case, and she took it, and I didn't get to keep it. I still cry every time I think about it. Okay, it was a real pleasure. You be safe, Mustang friend."

Nobody is going to jump in and say that a Boss 429 is a pushrod motor?

The cammers were 427 FE motors with SOHC heads
Look at the head on a Boss 9 and you will see a head similar to a Hemi Dodge, Has No Overhead Cam
