I`m not sure if the Torinos were the same, but in the Mustangs, the 70s had to use the autolite 4300 carb, while 71 & up were able to use the aluminum intake and Holley 780. The 70 also had a smaller cam, so if you do chose a Cleveland, you may want to find a 71 grille. I always thought that the 429s were rated kinda high, but I believe they had some HP taken off not too long ago. I`m a stick guy, but those Torinos are pretty heavy.......
