Ford guys please help??????

[396_WAYS_TO_SPIT]

I stripped a block today and heres what I found.
Block cast#'s D1VE-A2B
Crank cast#'s 4UAB
Pistons cast#'s D3SE (stamped 429)
Rods cast#'s D00E
I looked up the block on a web site and it said the 429 casting numbers are D1VE and the 460 casting numbers are D1VE-A2B. Is the block a 429 or a 460? I also looked up the crank and rods and they came up under the 429. The heads are DOVE C. The block is a virgin and everything is standard. I am not a ford guy I just need some info on the parts I have. I have a guy begging me for all of these parts but I dont want to get screwed.I am just going to sell the stuff to finish my two boats. All the internal components are 429(I think) but I am really confused about the block. Could you guys please clear this up for me? :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: wink

the 429,460 block are the same ,the only difference in the two engine's are the crank and pistons. :) devil

your rods might be the cobra jet rods but the rest of it sounds pretty good.Those are the good years for the ford parts.Another thing the 429 uses a different piston from the 460(the crank and pistons are the only difference)rods will interchange between the the two.that motor should be a 10.5-1 comp from the factory.

The deciding factor on that motor comes down to where you tie the rope to it 396. :D :D :D

Try looking here... Ford motors (http://www.fordclassics.com/enginespecs.html) or here More ford stuff (http://members.tripod.com/lyc_42/fordv8/fordshop.htm) looks like the only differance is in the stroke.
