Reverse Casting?

It could be either. They both used the same block.

It's a 460. Ford sometimes cast the FE engines upside down...... Never saw any backwards. Just a casting plant faux-pas.

I don't know if there is any easy way from the outside to tell 460 or 429.

Duke?????

Probably the only sure way to know is to measure the stroke or get the numbers off the crankshaft.

edited: 460 cranks number begins in 2 or 3, 429 in 4

If you have a 1" x 3" metal tag under the carb stud or the coil, the first numbers say 429 or 460.

I have a reverse casting 391 FORD FT engine that has a reverse 105 on the front of the block. I have never heard of a 429-460 with a reverse casting number.
