Thank you SVT! Wow this 2012 has not been what I expected. I'm at a stand still on the truck. I need to find a thread on how to rebuild a 429. Any suggestions gentlemen? It looks like the only way I'm going to get this project running is to up my knowledge all around.

It's easy -- take it in to Albuq Machine Services, ask for Doug. You'll never regret it.

I can add a 3rd to that recommendation. When i was living in Albuquerque, built a stroker FE and a pumped up 390FE engine for a buddy i worked with. They did all the machine work on both and were also a wealth of info and not afraid to share it.
If these other guys are still around....(10+ years ago)
Dave (i think that was his name!?) at Hi-Purr engines did a some work for me too. He knows a few Ford tips-n-tricks too, although I think he dabbled more in the Chevy and Mopar worlds. I used him to build a 350 Chev for another buddy's '67 Camaro and a Ford 400M for yet another fella. The 400M was kinda unique as he used 351C pistons in it to bump up the compression. He was a pretty crafty guy.
Todd Budlong (Budlong Motorsports) Although I've never used him, another buddy from the base moonlighted for him as a side job. Had lots of good things to say about him and his work. I spent a few nights in his shop, and at the time he had a nice setup. Todd's definitely weighted tward the Chevy racing world and dirt/oval cars.
