429 in CJ-7?

[Out of my mind CJ5]

Just wondering if anybody has ever stuck a 429 in a jeep or heard of someone doing that. If so what did it take to get it in and sit level? I found one for cheap so i was just curious. also anybody know a good place to get a rebuild kit for a AMC 304 other than northern?

I've got a 460 sitting in my garage, but I wouldn't even think about putting it in a street legal CJ. Too much hpower, weight and a slew of mounting/space problems come to mind.
However, a 2wd Mud race truck might be in the cards eventually...
That said, I have seen a few Big Blocks in Cjs, even saw a Viper V-10 in a trade mag once.
If the $$$ is there, anything is possible.

Saw one with a Caddy 500 not 2 days ago.
Looked good and sounded great.
It can be done with proper planning.

Too much horsepower? Never. Go on Youtube and find the videos of the 600+HP CJ7 that a guy drag races all these fast cars with and destroys them. Just awesome.

nothing exceeds quite like excess.

can you say twisted, as in the whole jeep would probally twist in half. would have to majorly beef up the frame. but it would be cool
