Hi Guys,

Did a bit more research on the boss 429. Yep your right it's based on the 385 series block. Looks like you've got the same book as I have Chuck 'cause it mentions the "quench hemi" chambers.

Sounds like an awesome motor. 2.28" intakes and 1.9" exhausts. O rings instead of head gaskets. The Can Am version displaced 494 Cubic inches by virtue of a 4.52" bore and a 3.85" stroke. would that be the biggest factory ford car motor?

Pity it won't squeeze into a cobra imagine the looks on peoples faces when you open that hood.

Cheers
