Sounds sweet! Im still building mine. Did you change ur cam and where did you get ur headers from? Sounds like it will be a lot of fun and it also sounds like its going to be loud (the only way to have it in my opinion).

I have a 89 F-150 xl 2wd that i thought a 429 should make a little more exciting to drive. I know im probably goin to miss the gas mileage of my 5.0 but the thought of the fun and uniqueness of the 429 will take care of that . The only problem i have is when i finally get her finished i want to find some long tubes to fit.
