New Engine for The "Speed Bump"!

Post by SVT522 »

Getting ready to set a new engine in my '67. It started life as a 1968 429 Thunderjet. It was cast in November 1967 so it should feel right at home in my '67 frame.

Lincoln Mark VIII 2-speed electric fan ready to cool the beast. I discovered this will not work with a 429/460. The fan motor and the water pump pulley want to occupy the same space!
