I have a 70 429 in my 57 Ford. It's a lot stronger than the 78 460
in my 78 Ranchero for obvios reasons. I prefer the short stroke of the 429.
I think the 429 was 360 HP stock. Mine has a 280H cam, Stealth manifold
and a set of headers and Dove heads (1970). For a street engine hard to
beat. I wouldn't have a late stock 460 in anything!Except a tow car maybe. The stock 400M that came
in my 78 pulled a load as good as the 460.
