The tranny will soon have a large inspection hole.

You will need to use a Top loader, T56, a C6, and or any other tuff transmission.

Also while at it I would convert your clutch to hydraulic if your going to stay stick.

Granny four speeds, such as the NP435 or T18, are usually considered tough transmissions.

What 429 are you putting in there? Any mods? What are you going to do with it? Drag race, tow, etc?

I have a 429 in my 76 F250 4x4, it had a 360 in it, same block as the 352. It still uses the NP435 trans.

But 429's were not installed in trucks, 1968/73 Ford/Merc Passenger Cars & 1968/72 Thunderbirds.

Ford 4 speed top loader available (except Birds) as was the C6.

That is right, as stated; it had a 360, the 429 that is in the truck is out of a Galaxie.

you probably have a 435np in it you will need to find a flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate for a 460 you will also need to adapt your engine towers (where your motor mounts go) there are a few ways to do this i can tell you if you choose to want to but it isnt that hard to do it just takes a little while to find all the parts but it is pretty straight forward swap i have done it a few times myself....... the 435np has an aluminum top to it so it is really easy to distinguish from the others but has kind of crappy gear ratios for hot rodding 1st is 6.68 to 1...... 2nd is 3.34 to 1....... 3rd is 1.66 to 1.......4th is 1 to 1 where a c6 is 1st is 2.46 to 1..... 2nd is 1.46 to 1.......3rd 1 to 1

Thanks guys, been busy working. Haven't picked engine up yet buying it with a good C6 attached, I'm not using the C6. As far as model # I wrote down DIVE AA {Not 6015} might be a 4 bolt main. It will be STRICKLY a cruiser . Thinking its a T18 transmission. reverse is over and down. .

I recommend stuffing the C6 in there too. Let that big truck change them gears.

No such thing as a model number (or Ford part number) on an engine block, so this is the casting number...which is a foundry mark only.

Casting number: D1VE-AA or D1VE-AB = 1971/73 429 - 1971/78 and some 1979 460.

Casting number: D9TE-AB = Some 1979 460, 1980/97 460.
