The 'stang did come with a 429, but the engine compartment was so tight the dealer would charge for pulling the motor just for a tune up. They do make headers and springs for the conversion. If it came with a small block you might think on getting a stroker, they make one that is 460 cid and around 600 hp on pump gas. Check out jeggs.com or summitracing.com.

Seems to me anyone that owned a shop would already know the Mustangs came from the factory with 429s already installed. Yes, it's a tight fit, but doable. Finding all the parts to accomplish this may be troublesome, but with all the aftermarket companies out there, not impossible.

A heavy old 429 will drive the chassis into the pavement. Stick with a small block Ford

i own a repair shop,and anything is possible ,but its going to take some cutting and welding to get this done,that's a lot of engine for a mustang to have in it,but it can be done,you will have complications on it though its not an easy swap,putting a big block in ,is always a challenge on those cars,i,ll put it this way i have done it,but wont ever do it again for anyone,if you have access to the money and the right tools and equipment ,this can be done ,good luck i hope this helps.
