dude read up

a FORD 454 :P booyah but i'd be content with just the 351

love the Manny in ( )

i think it all started with ur name u entered manE=manny get it :P

if i ever have to opurtiunity to do a complete buildup of a car, this is prolly the engin i'd wanna go with.

 

you got it Arin
I'd also love to build me a T-Bucket with the biggest Motor I can get my hands on, then Supercharge it
Is a 460ci the biggest motor Ford offers? I know alot of people put Chevy Motors on their Buckets, but it's gotta be all Ford. :headbang:

 

ha ha, same here, fords biggest motor is the 460Ci V8

 

on the original question -408W stroker

 

what about the 514? isnt that a Ford motor? i saw it in overhaulin in the '70 fastback. anyone else wanna confirm (i'd hate to find out that they put a chevy motor in a mustang :nono: )

dont get me started on the old school fords with chevy engines GRRR. i hates it. :notnice: its like breedin with th' enemy. but it could be worse. they could be using honda soda bottle engines. oh wait, they arent total morons

 

for you, the 514 is Ford's biggest big-block crate motor.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what are honda soda bottle engines?

 

its ok dude, i refer to any any engine with less than 2.0L displacement as a soda bottle engine :P add the fact that i just hate honda's lineup and...

its just my little way of poking fun at the things i hate no prob dude



thx for the BTE

 

nice, 514 cubes of Ford Muscle
One day I'll have that $7,595.00 to put it on a project car

 

i can only dream....

 

514 is a 460 stroker

 

Yes... does that mean its not a "514"?

 

It's 514 cubes as they will ever be, just that it started out as a 460, and converted to a piston that travels up/down more to get more space. (longer stroke)
Longer strokes give you the torque.

 

GIT-R-DONE

WOW .................

 

You can bore and stroke almost any engine,but,Ford engineers and Holman and Moody got plenty of power from stock bore and stroke Boss 429's. Besides,the stock boss has a forged steel crank. We pulled 600 hp on the dyno with this setup,pics at : www.1969boss429.com plugs are easy to change,and until you here a Boss 429 singing at 7000 rpm you don't know what you are missing.Then again,a Cobra Daytona with a killer small block would really be nice to own.

 

hey 69boss429 u went to the boss nationals right? do tou remember seeing a 70 boss 429 grabber blue black int owned by jim cuttinghamm??? he lives localy and he takes that car to some shows around here.

 

lilbosman, I don't remember by name,but I'm sure I saw his car. Where is local?

 

he lives in indy....he has his 70 boss 429 and EVERYTHING on this car is N.O.S. and no joke it has got to be 1 of the best boss9's n the world...........it even has the O.E.M. exhaust!!!!!!! he doesnt start this car.there is no oil in this car. it is 1 of the 6 drag pak cars with the cali smog stuff.......no joke its gotta be one of the best.

 

lilbossman, I am sure it is a very nice example of a Boss 429. But, what a waste of a machine. These cars were built to be driven,not stared at.You may as well get a copy of Playboy and look at the models cause you won't get a chance to drive there either. :bang: But, to each their own. I'll drive mine until I can't,then maybe I'll just sit and look at it.

 

yea i kno were you are coming from and i respect you for no bein wimp and runnin your car......i was recently at a car show at an airstrip and the airstrip owner said that u could get out and run the crap out of your car and only 5 of prolly 90 cars went out and ran them. just plain stupid if you ask me.
