what kind of 429 block i got it has a sticker on air cleaner saying 4v. i need to no cus i'm supping it up. i think it was in a f700 truck cus the distrubuter has no point setup in it but a electronic distrubuter, or it could have been upgraded i guess. i forgot the block # but it starts with DIVE. and i seen some dove heads ported and polished r those doves any good. what does the dove mean?

HMUSN · October 18th, 2007, 12:53 PM

DIVE A2B heads?

Offy · October 18th, 2007, 01:23 PM

dont no if they r a2b heads, but a2b were the last 3 digits on the block # now that i rember

Offy · October 18th, 2007, 01:25 PM

oh sorry i dont no maybe my buddy fond them for me ill have to ask him if there dive, but he said dove, if they are dive does that mean stock

HMUSN · October 18th, 2007, 01:28 PM

hmm.. from what I am gathering it's from a 70's Lincoln

oh and it's D1VE not DIVE

Offy · October 18th, 2007, 01:30 PM

so did somebody upgrade with an electronic distrubuter or didi they use that block again after the mid 70s

HMUSN · October 18th, 2007, 01:32 PM

could be upgraded

post a pic of it.

Offy · October 18th, 2007, 01:34 PM

well its gonna have full rebuild and the block is completely stripped then i'm gonna need help picking pistons for .060 bore

HMUSN · October 18th, 2007, 01:35 PM

ah.

I would wait for the big block guys to come online then.
I am sure they can advise you better than I can.

Offy · October 18th, 2007, 05:12 PM

i got $1000 tops i need at least 1 rod cause one snapped, one piston and bore it out because of a chunk that was taking out of the block and grind down the crank from being scorred up by the snapped rod. so i'm wonderin what i need to make this baby fly

and i dont think it will ever rev over 6000rpms. also i was thinking a 750cfm carb would that be too big/small

D1VE heads are 1971 castings. DOVE heads are 1970 castings. They can support about 500hp or so.

i have a set of 69 429 cobra jet connecting rods laying around and they've been magnafluxed and cleaned!!!

Offy · October 19th, 2007, 01:20 PM

What does magnafluxed mean. this is the first time for me being in an engine and i don't no a lot of the technical terms. would those work in the plain lincon engine? would they suport 500hps? what happens if i go with Dove heads that r port and polished and go over 500hps? all information u hardcore guys give me is greatly appriciated

Magnafluxing is how they check for cracks. Ported DOVE heads will support 500hp or so. To go much more than that you will need a better head.

Offy · October 19th, 2007, 01:34 PM

how do you magnfux because i think the engine should be magnafuxed too then!

Take it to a machine shop.

Offy · October 19th, 2007, 04:55 PM

i would also like to know what the difference between a 460 and a 429 is. just different stroke? Bore? Crank? can pistons be interchanged? Rods? i know intake and cam and crap like that r.

The bore is the same but the 460 has a longer stroke. Rods are the same but pistons can not be interchanged because the pin height is different for the respective strokes. Everything else is interchangeable.
