has anyone seen or put a 429/460 in a 69 / 70 cougar? i just bought my 69 and have a well built 460 on an engine stand , i was going to put it into my 71 cougar but..... i think i like the 69 better . also what about headers? i just bought a set of super comp hookers for my 71 and i was wonderring if they might fit my 69 any help or advise would be great .

Mark from Florida did this in a '70. He had to notch the shock towers for clearance. I don't think it will fit without some kind of shock tower modification.

hey thanks for the link to crites. you have a really nice cougar , i took a look at your pictures, my 69 looks preety good it has a little rust at the bottom of the quarters but it can be fixed it has a real nice interior so i thought that was a bonus maybe i can find a way to post some pictures. anyway thanks

For people without dig. camera's or scanners, but have pictures of there cars on film, the easiest way I know is to take the film to a camera place and get them to put it on a cd, or computer service place to get put on a cd, or floppy. Then its just a matter of going into the cd for your pictures. It isnt that much to get done either,

Hey Shane....I would be interested in keeping in touch with you as you go through this. I also have a 429 sitting on a stand that I'm toying with the idea of putting into my 70. I know a big shoe horn is in order but think it would be real fun to get it in there. It's a toss up right now between building the stuffins out of my 351C or rebuild the 429 and stick it in....

Anyway, let me know how you make out....
