Decades of experience.....that's how I know.

Post pictures of what you're packin'. We can at least tell you what engine family it is.

Also, if the vehicle has a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), list it here and we can tell you what it came with originally.

You won't know if it is a 429 or a 460 without checking the crankshaft stroke in some way. 3.590 for the 429, 3.850 for the 460. Everything else except for the crankshaft stroke and the pistons is the same. The 460 was in production much longer than the 429 so just going by the numbers it is most likely to be a 460.

Take a picture of the fuel pump bolts
The 429-460 has horizontal fuel pump bolts and the Cleveland and M motors are vertical

No need. The picture posted is obviously a 385 series engine.
