My interest in this engine and tranny stems from them being already rebuilt with only a few thousand miles on them. The engine has a Stealth intake, Edelbrock 800 cfm carb and an aftermarket cam (not sure what kind yet). The C-6 is rebuilt with a 3500 stall converter. The combo costs much less than rebuilding my current 351C and FMX trans. Given my goal of 450hp in a car that won't be raced, should i stay away from this 429 just because of the poor heads? Could I swap out the current heads for a set of better stock 429 heads from an earlier year? What should I expect to pay for a set of C or DOVE heads?How big is too big?
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
