Description
The Boss 429 is arguably one of the rarest and most valued muscle cars to date. In total there were 1358 original Boss 429s made. The origin of the Boss 429 comes about as a result of NASCAR. Ford was seeking to develop a Hemi engine that could compete with the famed 426 Hemi from Chrysler in NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series.
The Boss 429 engine used four bolt mains, a forged steel crank and forged steel connecting rods. The engine featured aluminium cylinder heads, which had a modified Hemi type combustion chamber which Ford called "crescent" and used a single Holley four barrel carburettor rated at 735 CFM.
Production of the Boss 429 began in 1968 at Kar Kraft's new assembly plant in Brighton, Michigan; the cars were transported to this plant directly from the Ford Rouge plant and the work began.
