    stromberg bodies

     



    The srtromberg bodies with the injectors probably wouldn't flow enough air for your 429 460 I haaven't seen the spec but the old ones were only good for 3 twos for up to 350 cu in a 460 you would probably want 6 to run right probably easietr to run 2 fours on a tunnel ram.

    Don't even think of Strombergs on a 460, you'd need a truckload of them to match the flow of the stock carb. If you're after "the look", with an open engine, triple Holley 500's or dual 4's will do it.

    The Tri Power may be a moot point, I'm not sure that anybody make one for the 429/460.

    I don't think one is made either. Run a low rise 2x4 for traditional look, or a tunnel ram for newer look.
