As long as you have a cherry picker (engine puller) and if you want an engine stand you should be fine. The tranny should need a different bellhousing and some other minor differences but it shouldn't be too hard. I am switching from a 4 speed toploader to a 5 speed Tremec. As the two posts said before, if you have the complete engine, swapping isn't too tough. Also, your engine compartment will fit the 429 so it won't affect that, though headers might be an issue. If you want help on the specifics let me know.<br /><br />David <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
