The clevor deal has special intake that is being reproduced called the street boss and track boss.This is the engine that takes the water passage mods.

The only modifications needed are pretty minimal to make the boss 429 heads fit the 460 engine ,after all the 460 and 429 block are identical and interchangeable .These are the oil return lines.
Let me guess Hotrod rag had a good line on a aftermarkett block to help you out at only 4000 dollars?

And the original Boss 302 had an inline Autolite 4V carb and intake for it. Now Barry Grant is making an inline 4V carb. Everything old is new again....

That's some great pictures, Shawn. Thanks.

Ohh and by the way ...........the guys name I gave you is the authority on these ,after all he makes the things.
EDIT...That was fairly good article ,I have to give it hotrod on that one.Although they should have listed Carol Carter as the person who now makes these boss heads and the proper blocks, not say you cant get new ones.

Does anyone else build BOSS 429 heads?

Just did a total for complete BOSS 429 heads- $10,754. No typo. Does anyone make any heads for cheaper? 2-3K less for complete heads is what I have in mind. Did I make a mistake somewhere? Perhaps his price listing for heads is for complete heads (hopefully). If they are, then can the setup Shawn showed work- the one with oil lines leading from the oil pan to the heads. If I can get an entire motor together for less than $6,500 BOSS 429 is for me (I can only spend around $10,000 on the entire car).

www.jonkaaseracingengines.com Kaase has a few heads available. Nice hemi heads too..... but $$$
