NOS 429 DOVE-C Heads with SS Valves $725 Pair

[Carolina_Mountain_Mustangs]

This guy has several sets on NOS 429 heads and one used set. He bought them 40 years ago. You BB guys need them, lol. Comes with new SS SCJ valves he says. $725 seems like a good price to me?

The ad has been up for a month so I guess not much interest in NOS 429 parts.

It's a select group of individuals you are going after with parts like those. I often wonder, why didn't Ford move more big block iron back in the day? Even in the late 1970's I never saw 428 or 429 Ford BB's in any vehicles prowling the streets of Eastern PA. Tons of 302 and 351C and 351W around though back then, and they are all great engines of course. Saw way too many SB Chevy cars, but that goes without saying. I knew of a few guys who had Chevy and Mopar BB's, plus you could see those cars cruising around fairly often in general. Ford BB cars were something I saw in old Hot Rod magazines back then. I recall a friend of a friend who had a '69 Mach 1 with a 390 and that car was like the Holy Grail. Another friend had a red '73 Mach 1 with a 302 and get this, side pipes. heh
