Hi All,
I have a 69 Q-code Mach 1 with a 429 from a 70 Galaxie station wagon. Someone put the engine in the car long before I got it. It has an Edelbrock Performer, Edelbrock 750cfm carb, and a 289 style round 2" chrome air cleaner. It barely fits under the hood. The combo runs fine but I want to switch it back to an FE with a bit more power. I have a couple engine options available. One is a center-oil 427 and one is a 428CJ. Both have aluminum heads and a single plane intake.
Since the 385-series 429 barely fits with a low profile dual plane, do I have any chance of getting an FE with a single plane to fit?
