u will have 2 pull sump off 2 check numbers on crank 429s start with 4u and 460 starts with 2y or 3y the 6015 is a typical casting number for ford engines and a2b will be the revision number hope this helps
this is a great thread... can anyone tell me if cams, pushrods, and rocker arms are interchangeable between a 429 and 460?? I spun a rod bearing in my boat 460 and bought another 460. Turns out its a 429 not a 460. I want to use the valvetrain and cam out of my 460 cause its all good and the cam is a loper. I wont be running the 460 heads, cause the 429 came with Dove-c heads. I just really hope all that stuff is interchangeable. Thanks
On any given year of production, the 429 and 460 share the same internal parts except for the crankshaft (stroke) and pistons (pin location). If they are from different model years then they might not have 100% interchangeability, speicifically in the area of the valve train. So if your boat heads are currently D3VEs then the valve train from the D0VE heads will not work with the D3VE heads, and visa-versa. It would be necessary to change the entire top end of the engine as a complete set.
