Ummm, top hose is kinked?

There is one on C list near me with the same affliction, only a short/fat, think he is asking 3k for it also ... must be that gene swapping thing ...

Along that same line, in 1982 I bought a '80 Chevy short/fat, with a really tired 429/C6 in it, decent truck but why put a smoking skipping junk off brand motor in it?

But I had a fresh 454 ...

Been happening for years. Believe a member or two has done it. There's a guy that did an LS swap because the cost for power was cheaper. Yeah its kinda stupid to do butter what can you do. My dads one that's into mixing them up. He's put a couple chevies in a several old fords. Id considered tossing a 318/360 in a 49-51 ford myself bit rather ase a 302/351 or even the original Flathead

Actually 429's are a killer motor.....had one in a 78 F150 4x4 that was a beast....I bet in a li'l 2wd dodge would be a fun ride

Back in the day we built with what we could find cheap...to go fast and it was a blast

I get it on the engine, but that one was a TIRED wheezer, oil fouling the plugs in short order in the little while I drove it, and the installation left a little to be desired.

The day I pulled the 429 out, I power braked it, and managed to put on a big smoke show, between the oil smoke and tire smoke! I was hoping for an explosive finish, but no luck.
