429 for my 49 merc?

sound like a good fit?

 

I,m putting a stage 1 455 buick in mine. 365hp/510ftp.

 

nice!

 

why not? even the 2 barrel early 429s were 300+hp, tons of aftermarket support, and best of all not made by chevy. go for it

 

Hell yes go for it.

 

whats a good price for a mechanically sound complete engine? guy wants 800 for it.

 

Big cubes are good.
Mine has a 500 Caddy.

 

You have a FoMoCo swap meet next weekend, check it out and ask questions. Also, good 'ol craigslist is a good place for car junkies....

.

 

thanks man!
