The bore is larger than a 454 BBC (actually the same on both the 460 and 429) so you can put bigger valves in the BBF than the BBC. :pot_stir:
You can Ford vs Chevy trash talk all you want. But look at a SBC vs a SBF without looking at the dist hole and I can't tell the difference.

Camaros have been consistently faster than Mustangs, but a mild cam will fix that. Car manufacturers really just get you started, how fast you are is up to you... Look at my 185hp Corvette.

I am not trash talking:sm_laughing:. I've build just about any comb of BBC and BBF in the 70's - 80's that was possible then. Both have good points and bad points.

Yea, your "185 hp" Chevy is a very good point.:drink:

Now that after market heads have leveled the playing field, BBC or BBF both can make unGodly power.:judge:

Would that be the same one with the broken piston on my bench?:sm_laughing:

Haha, the motor's been rebuilt already. I have 7 smoke colored pistons and a new shiny one. Also a new set of stainless rings. Decided to stay away from moly in case I ping again.

Need feedback on engine choice
 
To all who posted, just wanted to let you know that I am now the proud owner on a BBF 429 motor. Now the fun begins.

Maybe in another year or 2 we will have it in the car, unless he wins the lottery.

Going off memory, the 429 didn't need much did it?

Intake
Carb
Dizzy
Plugs
Wires
Headers

:huh:

Don't forget the Cerittos (I think) swap meet. You might be able to pick all this up in the <=500$ range.

Dizzy?? You can't beat an MSD streetfire for the $$. No way, no how. $150.00, and I'll curve it for ya.
