i have an 89 mustang lx convetible with a 4 cyl. i recently purchased a 429 thunderjet out of a 1971 Ford Torino GT. i got the block bored.040 over and the heads reworked, ported and polished. and am putting a 533 stroker kit into this motor.i want to also put a bigger cam in it. any suggestions on that? the car is going to be used for crusing and for some drag racing on the weekends.
i know i will need a bigger radiator and an electric fan setup. any suggestions on what brand will keep this motor cool enough?
I know i will need a different cross member,different tranny,solid motor mounts, an 8.8 rearend.
is there a complete kit i can purchase do to this swap from start to finish? from what i have read it is pretty popular.
also what all would i need to go from an automatic to a T56 six speed out of an 03 Cobra?
any suggestions would be grateful
plus any horsepower guesses with this setup?
thanks guys

i would go with a 3" or 4" radiator and a flex-lite electric fan that should keep it cool
