If you live in Florida you should not have any trouble finding heads for your 429, there is a cylinder head place in central Florida that has a room full of old Ford heads, I bought ported DOVE heads for $200 and they have D3VE and later also or give a call to Powered By Ford in Orlando and they should be able to take care of you. Check Craigslist and poke around at the local junk yards, Florida is a big car and truck state so you just gotta look and you can find some heads

Save your money until you can afford to do this. I would also stop guessing at what will work & go to www.460.com. Learn 1st or you will be wasting a bunch of money. If you can't afford the BBF swap it out for a 302.

You werent sure if the water was there from the engine sitting opened up or if it was a head gasket/cracked head or what. Have you been able to diagnose that yet? There is no need to spend $ on another set of heads until you know that yet.
