This is at the machine shop, they put it on like this for the upcoming initial engine start-up (after the complete rebuild), that will take place soon. The engine as seen here is not yet set up to factory "look" specs... Good eye though...I just noticed something. Is your coil installed backwards?
Looks like a beautiful engine! I hope to have mine looking that nice one day......
Close enough. MCA and other like minded high level show organizations would/might deduct for having the lid with the 429 sticker on it. All dependent upon what class the car is judged in and the judge themselves. The car did not come with the sticker from the factory, so I ordered a nicely done repop lid from Semo Mustang and will apply the sticker on this. I may use this lid for shows where the majority of people would not know what engine is in the car by just looking at it...One for show and one for cruise nights?
The 71 429 Forum started In the early 90's was a really good group dedicated to the BB '71 Mustangs and Cougars. It stopped being really active in the early to mid 2000's. There is a registery for the '71 429 Mustangs but the curator has never actively promoted it to the point of having member owner discussions. The last I heard about it, there was approx 300 of these cars in his registry. That was 15 yrs ago or so.Yep, it amazing me how little is known by the general Mustang population about the 71 429CJ Mustangs. I guess to be fair 71-73 Mustangs aren't too common at shows anymore and 429's are like hen's teeth.
I really wish we had a more active registry like many of the other cars I own.
