If you are going 429/460...
The only way to go would be with John Kaase "BOSS 9" Racing Aluminum Semi
Hemi Top End.
Not sure it will fit though....

Bellhousing, flywheel, clutch, headers, engine mounts. Then it's all
custom plumbing.
But it won't be enough. Goran had a 385 in his Pantera for a bit and
ended up with a Chrysler 426 Hemi based motor (as seen in this month's
Hot Rod magazine). If you're going to go big, go *BIG*.
I think you need an aluminum 429 Boss motor, stroked to 535ci. You
can start with something like this:

Yes. I'm sure that's what you need. You have my full and undivided
support in this endeavor.
