Not sure I would put the 460 crank in. As the Pope said, it's only a 30 cube gain.... With the shorter stroke, the 429's rev up a lot quicker then the 460's... If it were mine, I would use the best pistons I could and optimize the compression at about 9.5, do a bit of porting on the heads and use it as is....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

hi there guys thanks for your responses, i think i will invest in a good 429 rather than converting to a 460, and compression i can sort out with the correct pistons to suit application.
