Engine Choice 429-1970 or 460-1973
Paul
Im wondering what engine is the best choice if I must take the 460 back out of the truck anyhow???? Would I be better off with the earlier 429 dove block .030 over with one rod bent and the dove heads just redone maybe look for a replacement rod and new piston on the internet. or go with the 460 that is .040 over with the crank messed up????/ maybe search for a crank on e bay or????? Right now it sounds to me like I would not make much of a difference by putting the cam and lifters out of the 429 into the 460 to match the 429 crank I put in it.Also I learned the hard way that yes you need to study and learn about any engine before trying what I did.So if I must I will start over.
