It's a 460. 429s were no longer made in '79.

They didn't put 460's in 4x4's in '79, so it was swapped in and could be either. Get the numbers off the heads just above the manifold and block numbers behind the starter and maybe we can tell you what it is.The only way to be absolutly sure what it is by the numbers on the crankshaft.
