Wanted - running 429

[Joel A Campos]

Hi all,

Looking for a running 429 doesn't have to be perfect but must have had the THM trans behind it.

Thanks,

Joel

It is the crankshaft that is different between the 64 THM 429 and 64 HM 429 engines. You can swap cranks, or enlarge the flex plate opening from 3" to 3 3/16" if you did pick up a good running HM 429. If no one has anything I can put you down for on on my Wait List.

UPDATE:

I found a beauty of a donor car a Fleetwood Sixty Special Sedan with an excellent running 429.  Had to do umbrella and valve stem seals but it all worked out.  The donor '64 had every option, Comfort Control, Twilight Sentinel, Guide-Matic, Controlled Diff, Cruise Control, Vacuum Locks, Soft Ray Glass, 6 way Seat, Adjustable Steering Wheel, Remote Trunk release, Seat Belts Frt, 2 License Plate Frames, Dor-Gards, Power Vent Windows (all 4), Defogger, Rear Window, Eldorado Horn, Cadillac Rubber Floor Mats front and rear (2 Piece).  Would have been better if it was also a 2 door, but its got more than what I'll be needing for donations.
