Shelby Cobras where 289,351W, 427,428s The 429 will fit. Just ain't going to be easy and not the best thing for a first swap. You'll need a welder and cutter for it.
: In the classifieds of my local newspaper, some one was selling a rebuilt 429 cubic inch big block V-8 for 900 dollars. It needed head work, but thats about it I think. It also came with a C6 transmission. Unless I am mistaken, that engine is the same one they have in the old Shelby Cobra. I was just wondering if I could fit it inside my Maverick? If it could, then I would get it instead of the 5.0L Mustang engine. But it sounds a little crazy, and I'll need much better brakes.
: Thanks!
