Ditto what John said. I would probably lean towards the 429 but a few things to consider:
Health of the 429. Rebuilt? When? how many miles on it?
Same with the 360. The upside with the 360 is it is a good build option to a 390.
I have a 428 in my 72. It is a good, strong motor but it was rebuilt quite a few years ago and I don't have all the details on the rebuild so I don't know if I can do it again or if it will make a good anchor.
