maybe someone on here can help i have a 429 with casting id D1VE 6015 everything i have read so far says its a 429 but is it a cj or not i know it does not have the AA but the base 429 is listed as D1VE AA very confused please help

 

D1VE is the block casting number. the block is the same for a 460 and 429. it is probably not a CJ as i think they only used the D0VE block, but i might be wrong on that.

the CJ and SCJ used the D00E heads (look for casting number on heads between the two centre exhaust ports, can't miss it).

the only real way to be sure you have a 429 is by checking the crank number. the 460 and 429 used the same block and heads and only the crank and pistons were different (of course the 429 was the only one to use a 2 bbl carb in addition to a 4bbl version, but people have been known to swap intakes).
