really depends on if u want it as a dd or weekender/show car

429 would b too big for a dd. of course bigger is better but not if its a dd and your having to gas up every other day....you'll go broke

forgot....ya if it is a totally original 429 boss....get it

then sell it to me for $1

i think a well built 351C with a AOD behind it will make it a good daily driver and also a good weekend car!

For a daily driver, stick with a stroked andfuel injected Windsor based engine.

For a weekender, get yourself a 385 series big block.

If you can find a Cleveland, go for it.
