More 429ci engine info:
Hi,
I want to thank everyone for their help in my previous posts. The garage is finally finished and the Mustang and Galaxie are enjoying being inside for the winter.I now have the 429 in my possession, which is also in the garage. I got some information off the engine. On the intake manifold I found the following casting:
3 D0VE 9425 B
F4 2A6 (or G?)
On the head I unfortunately found:
D2VE-AA, meaning, as I have read, the heads are pretty much useless for a performance rebuild.
Is this engine worth rebuilding in the future? If you remember my other posts, the Galaxie has a 390ci engine in it and I am considering putting the 429 in the Galaxie. Is it worth my money to build up the '72 429?
Thanks for the help.

Just find C8, C9, D0, or D3 heads and your all set for a fun engine to play with. I would at the very least keep hold of the block for future use, they are not making new 460's any longer and you have a good 429/460 block setting right there with you.http://www.truckpulls.com
