My dad is finally going to be dropping his 429 into his Mach 1. We will be removing the existing 351 Cleveland. Not sure what exactly we are going to do with the 351 but that is a decision for later. Right now he is wanting to throw a new cam in the 429 before we drop it into the Mach.

He is leaning towards either a hydraulic flat tappet or a solid lifter roller from Comp. Right now in talking with Comp they are recommending this
kit. Let me know if you have any recommendations.
My dad still needs a Carb and distributor/coil so if you have any recommendations on those that would be great.
