How is it "restoring" a Mustang from 1967 when you put in such an engine? If someone wants huge power, that's fine. But restoring should mean "original."

It's working on Friday morning. It's from the web site of Flatlander Racing, a reputable Ford shop. What they're selling is a 4.700 x
4.750 385 series, which does work out to 659.3 cubes. A 4.700 bore would be a whopping 0.340 overbore on a standard 429 (4.36 x 3.59) or 460 (4.36 x 3.85) -- not possible. Instead, Flatlander uses a new casting, featuring siamesed water jackets and a standard deck height, from Eliminator Performance Products. Flatlander claims a 4.700 bore leaves a .200 wall thickness. That's pretty thin for a 1,000 hp engine. Order your 10w/30 in the 55 gallon drum. Order your radiator from Peterbilt. 180 Out TS 28
Flatlander is not a "Ford" shop. They build all kinds of different engines.
Just the kind of motor that could twist a '67 Mustang in half. Cool.
