He wants to get at least 600+ horses without resorting to anything too exotic, such as a super charger or nitrous.
My question is: What should we plan on for pistons, the cam, valve sizing etc to reach his goal of a big horse carbed 429?
The 1968 429 Thunderjet from a T-bird is a great engine. The block and heads are strong, capable pieces in a performance application, and those parts can handle the 600 HP you are shooting for.
