429 heads
I'm rebuilding a 68 429 from a t-bird to put in my 68 f100. One of the heads was cracked and I'm having problems finding a matching head. I have a C8VEE and have found D3VE-A2A Will this head work the guys at the machine shop say they can make it work. I would like to here it from the forum before I buy this head.

Won't work.......
D3VE-A@A heads are 91.4 CC, compared to 75.8. No way in the hell they can mill that much off a head to get the same cc's. Even so, the intake wouldn't fit.
They probably thought the chambers were the same and they could just convert the non-adjustabl stamp steel rocker arms to the positive stop rocker arm studs like the ones you have.
