hey guys I was talking to my guy at Advance Auto tonight and he said he can get me a rebuilt 429 motor for about $1600 bux. I thought that sounded pretty good! Whats involved with stuffing one in a panther. I'm thinking 510 lift cam, 750cfm carb for 400whp or something, is that combo close to what i need? I want something streetable for daily driving, but with some decent power like that. I know that sounds like an oxymoron, I have a 1988 Merkur Scorpio on the way soon for a daily driver if Anabelle gets too fast. :evil: It would be nice to someday pull away from a new Mustang GT 6 speed :evil: :evil:
