I just pulled apart my block I just bought from a friend. The block says 460 with DOVE-A stamped on it. My problem is that the piston heads, and the connecting rods say 429 on them. So my question is do I have a 460, or a 429. I am guessing since the 429, and 460 are the same block with different stroke, or bore that I could have either. So how can I tell what one I have, is it stroke, or bore that makes the difference.
Thanks guys,
-Kevin
