429s were never used in light duty trucks other than the Ranchero. The 429 in mediums like yours is different from that engine, and different from the PU/car 460s, making a direct swap impractical.
"Different" as in crank snout, mounting, accessory drives, bell, clutch, pilot hole in crank, along with the heads, intake, exhaust etc.
