BlOWN BOSS 429 build progress

I know what you mean my wife said I spend more time at the shop helping my buddy with his or working on mine.I don't think the understand as what goes into one.

This is a great build and a great find.And yes I can't believe that is was never ran but I guess it's not completely unbelievable.

What are your main goals with this build?
Are you going to run the boost high or are you going to keep it safe since the heads,block and parts are so rare?
More show than go or more go than show and make it a street/strip ride?

Glad you are keeping this piece of Ford history alive.

Good luck.

More show than go, Like you said, the parts are far too rare to push them hard IMO. I plan low low boost and I'm not sure I will always want the blower on it. I just want a mean looking/sounding car. My plan was to maybe do something with the look and profile of the lawman boss but not interested in trying to make any exact clones or anything. For the 70 mustang I have I would like to use a heidts or similar mustang II up front and maybe minitub the rear. I dont want full tubs cause i want to keep the rear seat. I have 2 kids.

I don't think you will have any problems with a mean looking and sounding car.Just the look of a Boss and the sound of one with a blower will take care of all that.You haven't even really started on this project yet and I can already see the car.Once your wife sees the progress she will get it.Get your kids involved even if it is just grease on the nose if they are too young.

Got my custom ATI hub and damper yesterday. Now I just need a flywheel and get it balanced. Double 3/16 keyways and has chrysler supercharger bolt pattern and register.

So I guess I've been slackin'. Got sick before christmas, then my back went out. All that blew a month down the drain. Anyway, my balancing is done just need to go pick it up from the machine shop. Last week I dropped off my valve covers, timing cover, and intake at the polishers. Cant wait to get it all back and start working on it again.

definately intrested on what kind of numbers this motor puts out when you are done!
