I've asked this before but the responses have been vague to say the least. Yep you can do it, Not a pain, Feasible...yada yada.. I'm looking for a more precise answer.. time and $ wise from someone who has done it. How hard is it ? whats involcved, and what can I expect to spend ? and what options are there for this bastardization ?

TIA!! Bobby with his nose to ther ground!! And smelling the future no matter who the commander and chief is

Yes it can be done but it's a lot of work to make it safely usable.

Just dont want to get into a 3k install hack If I can modify it myself for under 1k that would work. I dont plan tpo drive it on the street, just a trailer queen who huffs the fuzzy stuff on race day and Bobby lives to tell about it hopefully!!


The Crites site doesn't offer up a lot of info, I was hoping to locate a photo album or ? of some one else's progress on this mod.

FFR(Glenn) sent over some links to a finished piece with a 429 in the thing. Does not look like it's leman skill set scenario at all. We'll keep searching for some more details on it. Guess the worst case scenario would be to just go with a small block HO/stroker and spend 1/8 of the $$ lol

Hi Bobby. Check your e-mail as I may have found what your looking for on a conversion set-up. Loren

the govmint knows someone who 'needs' that boat more than you do. To install an FE you need to be able to weld and cut or have a very good friend with a lot of free time. It's do-able. (I knew a guy, years ago, who put an Allison in a '29 sedan.) It'll take a lot of work.
