i was wondering where i could find a 429 SCJ like what year car truck? and about how much one would cost me?

 

70, 71 mustangs
But, as much as stuff has been pulled and swapped you could potentially see them in anything..

complete and running would cost you lots.
more than its worth for 99% of applications.

the heads did get used on some boat engines, and well pump engines AFAIK
but they would most likely not have the 4 bolt block or steel crank that goes along with them.

 

I have seen the heads in more abundance at fairly reasonable prices. The short block has been the real money every time I have found one. What is the motive for wanting one? There are probably better ways dollar to horsepower wise than finding a SCJ . Owners of SCJ cars looking for engines keep the prices up.

 

My GUESS is that you would be better off money and power wise to find a pillow-barge 460 for as little as you can, and apply some magic to it with the rest of the money a real SCJ would cost.

ymmv.

 

The 429SCJ was also available in the Torino Cobras and the Mercury Cyclones and the Cougars. Chances of finding one anymore are low and if you do find one that is claimed to be a CJ or SCJ, double check all the numbers because all 429's become a CJ or SCJ on sale day.

 

exactly my point. All numbers complete 429SCJ isnt worth it for anyone not needing a numbers correct engine.

you can fit any 460 block with FRPP scj's and flycut pistons for less than the price of an original SCJ. and make a hell of a lot more power at the same time.

 

i was wanting it to put it in my 77 f150 my brother was telling m about the one he had in either his 78-79 f250 i think and told me it was crazy fast and fun when he had it of course he did mods to it

 

The old adage, "The is no replacement for displacement" is true and the extra 30 CID and the longer stroke of the 460 will make more torque than a 429. The only reason the 429 was developed at all was because of NASCAR's CID limitations.

 

for what you are going to pay for a complete 429CJ motor, if you can even find one, you can build a very decent 460 that will be way ahead in the hp department then a stock 429CJ motor.
460 motors are cheap and plentiful and the aftermarket is full of performance parts that can make these engines very very strong performers. leave the 429CJ for the restorers and find yourself a 460 and add a stroker kit, decent heads and intake and cam and you can have 500 - 600hp pretty easily.
