the 429/460 are the same engine family, 460 being the most common.
If you are considering a swap, there should be a wealth of information in the Performance, Engines and Troubleshooting forums:

I wish I'd known about FTE when my buddy bought his '76 with a 460 swap. It could have saved him a lot of time and effort.
FWIW, 460s seem plentifull here in the metro area, prices are competitive.

Where in Colorado are you?

Really what I'm looking for is one for pretty much free, a engine that's been laying around a few years so any 429 or 460. Just bought a new house so money is tight. could also use a C6.

FWIW you can generally get a "yard" motor from the salvage yard for about $75 (same $ for a trans also). If you have a specific application for the engine, look for a similar donor vehicle and pull everything you need.

Well, honestly I don't care what engine it is. If anyone has a pretty complete engine laying around that is rebuildable I can come haul it away.
So, a 300 straight 6, 302, 351, 400, 460 or diesel will do. I'll find another tranny later if I have to.
