![]() ![]() There was not an overhead cam engine (that was the 427 an FE engine and entirely different, the 429 was designed to replace it/them). The Thunder Jet IS NOT a performance engine, it is the base line 429 engine nothing special no High performance anything. ![]() and when i say higher performance packages im refering to they went up from there but they also went back down to a lower level than they were at to start with.if your gona mess with it start off converting the car to a 460+ engine leave the 429 alone, the car's worth more with the orignal engine in its orignal state, and if you hop it up and blow it up you take a lot of value out of the car, if its not the orignal engine already theres no replacement for displacement. the 427 over head cammer is todaly different. it is a very capable engine however they are very expensive to build and are gona need plenty of gears to run, and before i get corrected by a ford guy there is a boss 429 and a proto type overhead camed 429 but those are todally different than what your gonna have in that ole bird. Most of the differences are in the heads and cams a 429 block is a 429 block its the same as a 460 same bore different stroke, thunder jet and such is a performance package and it being a ford product over the years its changed a few things about 4 million times, so unless your really good with fords or know someone that is best leave it alone its already in one of its higher performance levels. ![]()
