Boss 429 History/ Boss 9 [S4 Ep.12-1]
Today on GEARZ, Stacey takes a look at one of the most incredible engines that Ford ever built, the boss 429. But instead of leaving you WISHING you could have one, he shows you where you can actually GET one... the legendary Jon Kaase. After that he rolls the V8 Interceptor, Cougar back into the shop and gives you 780 reasons why this car is called the Interceptor. With all that new-found room under the hood. Stacey stuffs in a 520ci, 780 horsepower, Boss Nine engine and a 6speed manual transmission to back it up. If you didn?t think modern performance parts would fit in a classic muscle car, this show proves they can! But there's more to it than that, it's the rebirth of Ford's hemi and finally an answer to all those Ford fans who have wondered what could have been if the Boss engine had continued. The Boss V8 Interceptor is in the house!!!

I was videoing my car and this is what happened. My wife asked me not to e-mail this video to anyone, so I put it on youtube instead
1969 Ford Mustang 429 - Aluminum Cobra Jet Heads - Wicked Muscle Car
I don't have all the specs on this car yet, but I thought you'd like a look at it. It looks like a nicely restored Boss 429 and it's got one mean aluminum headed 429 under the hood. It doesn't have the shotgun hemi, but it's still plenty mean. In fact, I'm pretty sure this would smoke a stock Boss 429. I hope you find it interesting, thanks for watching!

With a jumping bass and off-beat syncopation, this is straight from Memphis' Beale Street. The Hammond organ and electric guitar play together as longtime friends, while the melody changes hands from guitar to organ to electric piano. 011

Bill Shepherd Mustang 1969 Mustang Boss 429
One of the rarest Mustangs to have ever been produced, with only 857 being produced, it is very rare to find one of these cars up for sale in Europe!
In modern terminology, 429 translates to 7 litres of V8 muscle, quite literally 'shoehorned' into the front of the Boss 429.
Ford contracted Kar Kraft to fit the behemoth engines into these cars, which required new shock towers being installed, widening the engine compartment by 2 inches to allow the engine to be placed. Even the battery had to be moved to the boot/trunk of the car for space and air conditioning was not an option due to lack of engine bay space. Power steering, however, was a mandatory option.
The Boss 429 was created solely for homologation purposes so that Ford could enter the engine into Nascar racing, rules stated that 500 road cars must be bult to homologate the engine for racing. Although the Mustang did not compete in Nascar, the Mustang was the chosen platform to make use of the semi-hemi V8 engine
