    I have a 429 in my 88, there is a kit available that includes , headers, mounts, oil pan, tranny mount and drive shaft.

    when I originally did this back in 88 there was no such kit, man that made everything go alot slower

    here is a old pic of when things were getting dry fit, there is alot of room.

    Thanks for the post. What tranny do you run with ? C6 is what I have been told to use since the car will only be used on the track but I was thinking about a 4 speed just to be diff and casue I love to bang gears. Nother question is the 8.8 rear going to hold or will i need to put a nine in out back?

    Yes its a C6, I dont know if the 8.8 will hold, I got the 9 cut and shortened, everything was what came out of the torino.

    I have a 429 CJ that I've been tossing the idea around about dropping in to my '84 hatch. What mods have you made to your 429 and what kind of numbers you been running?
