Ford 429 Engine Question


Quote by average guy View Post
all that stuff about flow rates, i'm not interested
in cutting things that fine.
So you aren't interested in what makes it work properly?

Which is exactly what you did in the transmission thread.

if 460 doesn't make power i'm covered.
i'll just say:
'well that fahlin guy said get one.'

This is an engineering forum, perhaps it would be a good idea to apply at least some thought to making it work.

At this rate it sounds like you'll have a mismatched head and block, making no power. Attached to a transmission with the gears removed, fixed in too high a ratio to be useful.

ok.i thought i put in here that
i found out somewhere else this:

429/460 heads intake valve size is close
to Cobra Jet valve size.

both intake & exhaust ports on 429/460 are big although there was something about
working on exhaust ports.

it may not be tons of info but it is something.

regarding trans i don't think it's a real big deal.

you're acting like i'm taking corn that could be
used to feed starving people around the world
to make bio diesel. ( that's one of my pet peeves. )

Have A Nice Day!
