That 429 is one mean engine. I had a 71 ranchero 429 super cobra jet ford said was 375hp (for insurance purposes) I understand that it actually dinoed out at 540 so it would be easy to get over 500hp with it.

Looks great, it will be really nice when you are done. I do have one concern, please cover that intake, where the carb sets. Things have a way of finding there way in there, and it is never good when that happens.

To quote Bill Elliott at a recent dirt-track race. "It's got WAY enough motor!"

Interesting Gilmer belt drive you've got on there. Is that a custom piece?
