take out a spark plug..... run the cylinder to tdc and insert a wire in the plug hole til it touches the piston, put a mark on the wire at the plug hole.... Run the cylinder to bdc, insert the wire in the plug hole till it touches the piston, mark the wire at the same place on the plug hole. Measure the distance between the marks, this will give you the stroke.
oh yeah..
429 stroke is 3.59
460 stroke is 3.85Last edited by Dave Severson; 08-30-2008 at 09:49 PM.

1969 up Lincolns were 460's, the 429's were for the po' folks with Fords.

the 429/460 question is quite common as I have been there myself! You may find the following thread helpful.
