I am modifying a 1 ton mercury pickup. This is a 46, or 47. I am not sure as numbers do not show up as correct. The engine number is J66354 and Serial Number is 412114778399. I also have 2 1948 Ford pickups. I am changing the fenders to 1/2 ton and going to put a 48 1/2 ton bed. I have a 1970 429 ans a C6 that is going in it. I might be selling parts later but for now has anyone installed a 429 in their older ford or merc?

I put a stroked 351w from a 88 ford bronco and a C4 from a 80 Ford car. I used the correct 157 tooth flywheel for the C4 with with a 50 oz weight. I used the 80 starter and tried the 88 starter and same problem. When I start the engine the starter keeps turning and self destructs. I even dought a new starter and same thing. I put in new cables, solenoid, and even tried a spacer between the starter and where it bolts on same thing. Starter sounds great but wont disengage.
