crankshaft?
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 27-Jan-02 AT 07:28 PM (EST)]Oops! I didn't read your post carefully, you want to know HOW to tell the difference between a 429 and 460 crank. Sorry about my previous post, which read
"As far as I know, a 460 crank and rods are the major difference between a 429 and a 460. The 460 crank and shorter rods yields an overall longer stroke than the 429. Swapping a 460 crank and rods into a 429 gives you a 460."

All 429's and 460's use the same rods. They are all same size bearings same size pin and same length 6.605". The 460's have a longer stroke, but have a shorter compression height on the piston.
