Welcome to the site

The pilot for the clutch will have to be smaller than later 460's to fit the end of the crankshaft because it is smaller from that era.

The 4-speed would have to come from a 400 application
But what will you use for a flywheel as the 429 engine is balanced different than later 460's & thr 400 ?

Did you know FTE has a Engine swap forum ?
