more than likely.a few years back we were changing out the gear in my 73 TA.when we went to pick them up from Super Shops we were informed they messed up and didn't have what they said.since my friend was driving over 100 miles to set up the gears the search began.found a little speed shop that said sure i got a set.as i was paying for the gears i looked down a hall into the back of the shop and wow
"is that what i think it is?"
"what do you think it is"
"a 429 super cobra jet"
after that we talked for an hour or so.told me how Ford dropped off a semi of parts at his place when they got out of racing,how he now builds V6's for one of the Nascar series.great guy to talk to,could have spent days just listening to the stories.it was in the late 90's but he still had a shop in Huber Heights just northwest of Dayton Ohio.
