No 429’s available in 1968 but I suppose possible to find a c8 block in a 69 car.

Try Summit Racing and Rockauto websites, coz they're very good, to see what's available and at what price, for info.

And let's start here :

When you pull the motor this weekend, have a look at the heads for a number stamped on it, something like D?VE-?? or C???-?.

And at the block also, which should look something like : C???-? or D???

The ?'s will be numbers or letters.

Post up the numbers once you have them.

There's several variations on the 460 engines and knowing which ones you have will help to plan ahead with pistons etc, if they will indeed be required.
D3VE A2A Heads
D1VE 6015A2 block
D6VE-9425-43A intake

I'd go with a 3g alternator. It has four wires to deal with, but probably way cheaper(I found mine in a jy). Also it makes 130 amps!

Thank you for the numbers.

It looks like you have the low compression +/- 1972 heads which offered a compression of 8.50 : 1.00.

Earlier, +/- 1970 heads with smaller combustion chambers, allowed a compression of 10.50 : 1.00.

I've never built a 460 motor, so I was just curious what's available and what could be done to one.

Depending on your $$$$ budget, how you want to drive the truck, and the condition of the existing block parts, the sky is the limit.
