In Response To: Tim, might be instructive to compare the scale 351-C and 429 CJ between Mustangs for an A-B ()

335 series (351-C): 29"L x 24.5"W x 27.5"H (sans carburetor)

385 series(429/460): 34"L x 27"W x 30"H (sans carburetor)

The 429 takes up something like 10-15% more space.

      - The Boss 351 kit includes a second fan shroud, which I would assume to be for the 429 engine. What color is this one molded in>? *NM*

        White. *NM*
