351 to 460 problem

I cant manually turn the crank on my 429. what do I need to do? My truck is a 76 f-250 4x4 and the motor is a 429 from a 71' car.

Is the motor in the vehicle? If so, surely you have the trans in neutral... If you pull the plugs out, you will not have cylinder compression and that makes it easier to spin. Is this a motor you are putting into the truck and was it running from the donor? What exactly does a 429 have to do with a 351 to 460 swap as your title suggests???

Too many variables to pinpoint, need more details --Mike
