thanks for the info, how is your 429 coming?

does it make a little more power than the 390 or is it night and day?

The 429 is coming along slowly for the second time. I found a crankshaft finally and getting it shipped from CA. It may take a couple weeks to get it here. After I get it, it shouldnt take long to put it all back together since I have been cleaning everything up waiting on it. You can tell a pretty big difference from the stock 390 to a mildly modded 429. She definately likes to go and drink gas.
