429-2v
I have a couple questions I am putting a 4V intake on my motor here soon but I was wondering is the factory 429 2V actually rare and if so what would the intake with factory carb be worth, it runs with it right now.

the 2v motors were used were people don't normally look to find a performance motor, I. E. grandmas car, the thunderbirds and linclons and big old boats like that mostly but thats were a majority of the 429s built actually went.

The reason the 429 2bbls don't stay long in a junkyard is due to the dirt track guys. The original 2 bbl 429 carb is the biggest Autolite 2 bbl with 1.33 bores. Check it out.The bore size is cast into the carb body behind the accellerator pump rod. The 1.23 & 1.33 carbs are fairly rare and are keepers. The intake makes a dandy boat anchor. Chances are though the carb isn't the original after nearly 40 years, but you never know.
