429 c6

I have basically fresh c6 came from my cleveland setup,switched to this 429 that came with one can a tranny guy switch the insides to another is this even worth it?or do i just rebuild the big block c6. also any body know where to find frame mounts, motor mounts are findable.really frustrated with this swap not much is the same,any advise would be great thanks guys love this site!!!!

Try reading this. Lots of good C6 info.

You can change the insides of your small block c6 into a big block c6. A friend of mine that does trans work did that for me. Try CarQuest for the motor mounts. I got mine for my 460 from there.

Steve the only difference in the c6's is the bellhousing bolt pattern.

cool that makes it alot better,was that frame mounts or are cleveland the same

I think you need new mounts. My dad had to get new mounts when he swapped out for the 429/C6 combo.

No not much will fit from a Cleveland to a 460. I used a factory set up on my Mach 1 but the next one I do will have a set of fabricated mounts. Branda use to list a swap kit for 71-73 Mustangs but I don't see it anymore.

Steve you will need new motor mounts.

I got mine from Mustangs Unlimited:

As you go through your swap, don't discount the FACT that the 1971 Mustang was available with a 429 and C6. You will be surprised at the parts you can find at the local "Parts Houses" when you tell them you are looking for the parts for that combination.

In replacing my 302 3-speed ('73 Grande) with a 472 (.060 460), I had minimal problems in finding parts using the above approach. Rarely, did I tell a "parts" person that I was working on a '73...it was usually that I was working on a '71. Believe me, that approach worked.

Just a suggestion.
