The block casting number is on the passenger side behind the starter. The head casting numbers are between the exhaust ports on the outside of the heads. The crank casting number is on the third counterweight from the front of the engine. The only ways to tell the difference between a 429 and a 460 is to measure the stroke or have the number off the crank. And BTW, welcome to FTE.

Depending on the year.

429's usually came with C8VE-A,C9VE-A,D0VE-C >Heads
C8VE-B,C9VE-B > Blocks

460's are usually D2VE-AB,D3VE-AE

Get the casting numbers off the heads and the block for a start.
The Block numbers are up behind the starter on the side of the block.

Look for marks with characters like beside them * 9C26 *

The heads casting numbers are just below the valve cover lip where it meets the exhaust manifold.

numbers on the heads are d2ve-aa number on the block is dive-a2b
i was thinking of rebuilding this and puting it on a c-6 in a 7? f150 4x4 frame shortening the wheel base and mounting a 67 t-bird body it would be kinda unique and the only one around here that i know of, i also have a 390 i could use but i just put a 460 in my truck and am falling in love with the extra cubes fast!
