Yes,
I did a 400 to 429 in my 78.
You will need a different Torque convertor because of the cranksfhaft pilot.
The Distributor from the 351M fits the 429 as well.
You will also need to either Install a drain hole in the front sump pan like I did
(Oil changes are a breeze and I barely have to get under the truck).
or replace the pan with a 70's truck 460 oil pan.
You will also need the special 460 3 piece Truck Motor mounts .
