I'm beginning to think if he got the engine from a 76-79 tbird, he's got nothing more than a 351 or 400m in that truck. Now that would explain why it feels slow right now. With a 429, even a 73 he...

I took a quick look around.The information I found placed the 429 in the TBird from 1968 - 1973. It looked like 74 - 76's got 460s.From the information, the 68 - 73 TBird 429s made SAE Gross 360...

Sid I think you are mistaken on the 72 and 73 429 compression ratios. I did find some information that suggested the 73 (the last year for the 429) made 201 net hp. I'll check some of my old Motor...
View ArticleRe: Some competition (questions about 429 BB)
I can absolutely guarantee you that it doesn't have 360 HP. What years of the 429 had EXTREMELY low compression ratio? Cuz that's what it is... otherwise, it's not a 429 (maybe the 460 like someone...
View ArticleRe: Some competition (questions about 429 BB)
Regarding the compression ratios... could very well be. I simply copy and pasted that information from an auction from a shop that sells those things. If the dood's starting with a low compression...

you would think if he was doing all of that, he would go through the trouble of at least finding out what he was starting with. edit: I can't read!By Gearheads, for Gearheads | Speed Trap

Checked some of my old sources and the 72 429 4bbl made 205hp, the 73 made 201hp. 73 was the last year for 429 production for ford cars. Red I had no clue that ford made the 427 after 1967 or 68????
View ArticleRe: Some competition (questions about 429 BB)
I also confirmed that Ford produced the 429 through the 80's and probably into the 90's for commercial truck applications.
