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...
