What I have is a 1959 F100 styleside with stock rear end, stock drum brakes all around, C6 tranny, 17" cragar SS rims, 429 or 460 DOVE-A motor, DOVE-C heads, Iron intake DOVE-9425. The only thing I can find on the crank is on the piston caps C9AE 6210-B on one side and CF7 the other. First I would like to know if its a 429 or a 460?

The trucks body, paint and chrome were done by the previous owner. The motor runs great! No leaks anywhere. The body and paint are beautiful and turn heads everywhere I go. After dropping the pan off and looking underneath it has that never been rebuilt and all original mileage discoloration inside on the block, pistons, crank and cam.
I am not interested in racing the truck. I do want the engine and compartment to look and sound as good as the outside. I pop the hood and this nice truck and there is this big war dog motor sitting there.
I want the rumble of a big block on a budget. Prefer to run 87 or 89 octane until they drop the price.
Thanks
John
