429CJ into 90 mustang GT?

[cherokeetrinity]

ok, im now thinking about putting my fathers 429 CJ into my mustang as the EFI setup is getting too confusing. plus the horsepower difference is about 200 horses. what do you guys think about it? just want to get some other opinions on it

same as a 460 size it takes up alot of room but it does go in. u will need a hood or k member spacers if u want it under a stock hood

do you think the suspension will hold up to the extra weight? and the rear end hold up to the extra horses

the rear end will hold up but u need to up grade parts. the gt has heavier springs than a lx. it will be easier to do if u have a k member where u can change the springs. there are sites that have bbf in mustangs. every thing is bigger so hard to get it all in the car. here is my bbf so u can see how big they are. a tube k member would be best to get more room for headers. i think u have to go to manual brakes to have room to mines a full race car so it does not matter to me
