which one do you think would be better for a daily driver and alittle track time.
I am thinkin long term, so this wont be completed for 1 to 2 years,

either one will be a Dart block( go big or dont go at all ) i would like to do a 347 but every one and their uncle has one so i want to try and go a different route, something that SHOULD be in a mustang a 429(aka a Boss 429) though not a boss block, ive only seen one 95 wit one it, It was sic, and rare.

I have yet to decide which Heads, intake, rotating assembly, I will do more research into all this.


I want to know what you guys think about this?

429 if you can afford it. If you had a lot of 302 based parts I'd say to get the 347 (actually if you were doing a NA dart block combo I'd make it a 363 cubed 8.2: deck stroker which is a 347 kit with a 4.125" bore).

I might just might go with a blower or Twin turbo It just to be crazy.

How much do you think a 429 would cost to be built my guess is 8k to 12k?

Its always fun to sit around and dream about .................
the ultimate high hp power plant

but

The reality of it is ... you gotta have a high hp dt to go along with it.

When you add up the COMPLETE package to sustain all that hp

Well ... its ultimate $$$

Another thing to think about ... this project is for a dd

anyway .........

I'd go for the cubes

429 or the 427 mentioned above
But plan on spending money on at least replacing the tranny with something stronger, because the torque from such a beast would rip the T5 to shreads at some point, if not right away. And you plan to keep it as a DD with that combo? Well, if you can deal with the resulting 10mpg, it'll be the fastest DD ever

If you are going blown, than I would just stay the 8.2 deck and go to a 363 big bore dart.
