Why a 429? If you're gonna go through the trouble of making a 385 series
engine fit why not do a 460? They are cheap and plentiful. Don't underestimate the 289 though. 289s love to rev. A stock bottom end can take 7000 RPM. Build it for RPM, back it with a toploader, and put some 4.11s in the rear and you've got one sick 'stang!

How do you intend to use the car?
A friend vintage races his Shelby GT350. His 289 puts out 425 ponies. It is NO fun to drive in traffic tho. 300 to 325 horses will be very streetable. I am talking crank hp above. Here is a link to some dyno results. http://www.catmbr.org/Dyno5D04.html http://www.catmbr.org/Dyno2001.html Erich "chris serbus" > wrote in message ... > How much horsepower do you think I can get out of that 289 motor? > > > "Cory Dunkle" > wrote in message > ... > > Why a 429?

I want about 300 to 400 horsepower out of it if possible, with a
supercharger, something I can use on the street and something I can use at the local 1/4 mile strip.
