ID A 429/460 Crank please?

LX NCH 50 · 07-24-2001, 02:38 PM

Ok, in my search to find out if I have a 429, 0r 460 on my hands I have found out the crank's stroke is what makes the difference. So, now I have looked the crank over and have found almost nothing. Here are the few stampings I found on it:
"FOMOCO"-Ford Motor Company?
"4U"?
"13"
"14"
That is the only stamps I could find on the damn thing. Anyone know if there should be some other casting # or ID? Help me please! Am I looking over the ID or something, or can I measure the crank to find out if it is a 429 stroke or 460?
Thanks guys...

Dude I don't know if about those stampings but if you can get a pic I think I can i.d. it for ya. There is an extra "knob" on the end of the 460 crank that kinda looks out of place. It is for the internal balance I believe.

Check your private messages. I believe the 460 is a stroked 429
