i have a problem. i have a 351w and a 429, and can't decide whitch one to put in my '87 notch. my 351w is an '84 truck block w/ flat top forged pistons, edlbrock performer 1.90 heads, performer rpm cam and carb intake, 1.7 r.rockers, barry grant 725 road demon. the 429 has an edlebrock intake aswell w/ a holly 850. thats all i know about it as far as parts. it came from a pretty mean '72 grand turino. i know what is required to fit the 351w in the car, but im not sure what is needed to fit the big block in there. the car is an automatic now so ill probebly kep it that way. does anyone know how to stick a 429 into a fox?

Never heard of anybody trying.
But if a 460 will fit the 429 should also.

429-460 is same engine.

I would go with the 351W, less weight on the nose !
