Thumbs up Website up and running!

Hi, my name is Dwane Park, some of you may recognize me from "SIR". I am in a wheelchair and race a 1977 F-100 with a 429 in it. My friend helped me get a website up and going, there is still a lot of work, but check it out please.

Regards,
Dwane

p.s.

Here is a photo of my truck that my friend Morgan took yesterday

Yes, it would be great to have you aboard! Nice truck by the way, I have always loved the late '70's ford trucks. I have a '79 with a 460, needs a little work.

My Flathead can go faster...... all 110hp of it lol

either way I got a 77 Grand Marquis with a 460 motor, I picked it up for 25 bucks with the plan of a demo derby. Can't really bring myself to destroying a great running 460 though......
I think I still have a 429 motor that I pulled out of a 68 Ford tow truck (previous transplant)

So what is the performance difference between a 429 and 460. Why did you go with a 429?

It just came down to what was available for complete engines. Yes the earlier 429 and 460 engines are similar in power but the early 460's are rare. There are more 429's with high compression and better heads available than say a 1968 460 and the newer 460's have less of a starting point even more so. So I opted for the 429.


1969 429 = 375HP
1971 429 = 375HP
1972 429 = 220HP

1968 460 =360HP
1972 460 = 212HP

Ok I gotcha, like how a early 352 produces more hp then a 70's 390.
Makes sense, how much horsepower are you up to? I'm assuming your motor is a little modded.
