Thats a SWEET Six banger.. Probably one of the nicer I've seen in awhile. Hows she sound with that 260H cam in there?? I dont suppose you have any video of it running do you? Im putting together a 300 for a close friend, and he picked up the biggest cam available for that motor. I'm curious to see how that 260 sounds..

Here's another for the inline six crowd. Nothing fancy, just put together to run better than a six ought too:

Here's one for you

Brrrr that pic lowered my temperature by 5 degrees lol. Post a finished pic when you're done, that bling will look SHARP on a 429.

Greythorn3, of course the Cupholder-Under-The-Hood is a special factory option. *grin*

Very nice engine pics everybody, keep 'em coming. I are envious of that built 390FE too...

My lowly but reliable 400:

It pulls hard up to 4000rpm (I installed the matching Comp Cam valve springs). I would challenge anyone to take a ride, and tell me it doesn't accelerate like a small block (even with 39.5" tires and 4.11 gears)!. I have the cast iron EFI split exhaust manifolds, that have 2-1/4" pipes at the manifold, Y-ing into a single 3" pipe at the firewall, and 3" all the way back, exiting behind the rear tire with a 5" stainless tip (looks like a diesel exhaust), At first I had no muffler, but it was way way way too loud. I now have a 3" Silverline stainless turbo pack muffler, and it's a little quieter, but not much. In a nutshell, I wouldn't change a thing on my engine combo.
Thanks
