I bet that blown up 2.0 would still outrun a 3 liter.

If you're gonna do an engine swap, have some common sense and replace it with one of these...

Shit may as well go all out...

 

[Bird76Mojo]

Too heavy for anything but a drag truck, and way too large to have A/C... It would affect handling too bad imo

 

[Dirtman]

Well... if your going all out... why mess with a crumbly 460... I dont even think you can fit a heater with a boss. Let alone AC.

You do realize the 429 is just a destroked 460?

 

[Dirtman]

Yes but the boss is a 4 bolt main, no freeze plugs and aluminum hemispherical heads. Not a regular 429... it's a pure race engine. I think they even have girdled main caps, and a dry sump system? But at any rate... no factory 460 is even close to a boss 429.

It was the built purely to destroy the 426 hemi.

Nobody has ever exceeded Mopar when it comes to ferrous oxide conversion!

 

[Dirtman]

They banned hemispherical heads in nascar after the boss engines started running... so yea I think ford beat mopar. Theres a good read called "when cars got to fast" about when the big blocks literally started lifting off the tracks like airplanes. It was during the mopar/ford wars.
