Has anyone toyed with the idea of putting a Boss 429 into a GT40? Before the problem of weight is brought up, let me say my thinking is that of using an aluminum block. That would weigh about the same as a SBF.
I checked the heights of the engines and the Boss 429 would need to have a shallower oil pan, but there seems to be plenty of space for the wider heads. Also, what would be the best trans for this idea?
Any thoughts?
I'm partial to the Boss 429 because I used to own an original 1969 Boss 429 Mustang
(KK 429 NASCAR 1998).
Have fun!
