69 mustang fastback

I will get some photos as soon as possible, the only question I have now is
how hard is it to swap the motor with a 429 thunder jet motor?

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.

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.
