Crane & Lunati both make hyd. rollers for the 429/460 engines.
Depending on what you want the cam to do, you may want to consider a solid roller instead. The pushrod angle in these engines is not the best and is aggravated by the raised height of a hydraulic roller lifter. For mild builds it's likely not a problem; for relatively serious engines, a solid will be more reliable. The hyd. choices are also fairly limited.
Also depends, I suppose, on whether you are OK with occasionally lashing the valves, or never wish to see them again after the engine is closed up.
