Hot Rods 4/29 day!

You'd be smiling to if you ran one of these in the 69 grand national series.

 

What about a 429 Cadillac?

 

Bring it.
Also, the Hemi 429s cousin the canted valve street version:

 

Heres the one in my 57 Custom.

 

Boss 429, Ford's most awesome engine ever

 

The SOHC guys may argue with that. Both had success in their time.

 

We have one of the Boss 429 on the stand waiting to be built and find a car to put it in.

 

I had a Cadillac with a 429...Suprised a few ppl doing big, long burnouts in a 3 ton sled.

 

Thats why they are called opinions...

 

One of the engines I've always lusted after, but will never own.

 

Yup, thats the kind of engine you can build a car around for sure. Is that a "new" Boss or an original?

 

It's Kaase Boss heads with a 460 block, bored and stroked to 521 inches.

 

I grew up around the corner from Denny Aldridge's place over in NE Portland. I drove a yellow 69 Mach 1 that was painted to look like a Boss 302 car. I used to drop in regularly and drool over the Boss 429 cars laying around. That was quite a sight to see an engine that big crammed in a mustang's engine bay.

Looks like we both moved to the North side of the river. He still has some for sale ! http://aldridgemotorsportsinc.com/pages/engineFS.html

 

If anyone comes up with a 431 c.i. engine, we will have to come up with a new calendar.

 

Just you Ford guys wait til April 54th damnit! I missed March 50th!

 

And tomorrow It's MEL day. Next month

is for the big stuff

 

Not mine, but an awesome job of packaging, has an remote electric water pump, that if memory serves is under the seat. Very well engineered and executed truck!

 

Lincoln 431?

 

There are 30 days in April.

The Cadillac V16 guys feel left out.

1938-40 Cad V16 - 431 ci.

 

sorry, but no company worth mentioning built a 429...they may have built some fancy bodies, but GM built all the motors.
