I am not sure. Got to autozone.com and look one up for both engines. The 460 will ask "with or without solenoid". Opt for without. See if you get the same part# for both. If so, then yes, they will interchange.

429/460 starters will bolt up but IMO are overkill for a 400. The 400 starter without the solenoid is cheaper. I bought a brand new one at NAPA for $38. The 429/460 will easily be twice that amount.
