    429 or 460?

     



    I'm getting closer to buying my long block, and find myself occilating between a 429 or 460. Both are about the same price, the place making the engine thought the 429 would be better, but the more I read, the more I find most people prefer the 460. I have all the edelbrock preformer series stuff(intake, carb, and will use their cam in the rebuild) so it's really a matter of which will best fit the application for my 48 Ford F1 truck, with a c-6 tranny and 9" rear end! I want the truck to be a mild build, and fuction as a daily driver, good on the hwy. Let me know what you Ford guys think. Thanks, Steve.
