429?

[joukaishou813924]

Anyone know how much wider a 429 is compared to my 390, I was wondering if it could be a feasable swap.

Almost identicle in demensions and the 429 will go right in where your fe 390 is.

You would have to use a different Bell and motor mounts. What it go in?

Just a thought on my 65 tbird, found a few nice looking 429's and thought it could be a fun engine

Great cars had a 64 years ago. Looks like you will need to make the motor mounts for that car. C6 for a 429/460 should work,

if i had the fe i would stick with it but i do like the fe's better then the lima's. just something about the 390 and bigger fe's.

like i said i was still only thinking, but parts availability is much greater for the 429, as well as common knowledge

The 390 c-6 and 429 c-6 have a different bell housing.

 

[joukaishou813924]

im aware one reason why im thinking of the swap, the cruisomatic on the 390 is starting to go and i was thinking about a c6 swap, but for the effort/cost ive found 429s similarly priced with a tranny

One other engine did catch my, I'm kinda thinking about going to fuel injection... does anyone kno the dimensions of a triton v8/10?

 

[BCOWANWHEELS]

fe's and 429-460 have same bell bolt pattern.......

 

[joukaishou813924]

Bump for triton v8/v10 dimensions, like width and height...don't care to much bout lenth.

fe's and 429-460 have same bell bolt pattern.......

not any that i have seen, unless your thinking about the 427/428 engines but their fe's. i know my 460/c6 is not the same as the fe.

THe fe bell bolt pattern are in the circle. The 429/429 the top two bolt are a lot higher then the rest if the bolt pattern. THe bolt pattern on the 429/460 are the same as the 351/400 M motors.

Here a chart showing the Small block, 429/460 and the Fe bellhousing bolt pattern

There were fuel injected 460s in pickups from about 1988 through 1997. Some things are different on them from the earlier 429/460 so study up if you plan to mix/match parts.
The V10 doesn't have much of a following as a transplant engine so you will kinda be on your own with that one.

i have heard that on the 351/400 but never tried.

Yes. The 351/400 M have the same bellas the 429/460. But the early 351C (1970-mid 73) have the small block.
