actually they made the 429 for a lot more than six years, do a little research and you'll find they made it up to the 90s. But i believe there are different ones that where made for big trucks that are not as good for high rpm, or so i have been told.

What is the difference between a ford 429 and a ford 460?if you have a 429 and want a 460 just find a crank shaft from a 460 ford and drop it into the 429 Ford and wah la you have a complete 460 fordReport Abuse
What is the difference between a ford 429 and a ford 460?Mathematically, the answer is negative Ford 31...
But seriously, the answer is probably best decided on what you are doing with the truck. If you want to restore it as a work truck, the 460 makes a lot more torque, making it a better truck motor. Also, for authenticity, the 460 is a much better choice since it was an original option on the truck. (Although I would doubt that there's much value in spending the money for a faithful restoration on something as un-rare as a 79 F-150.)
If you are building this into some kind of cool street or tricked out show truck, either engine could be a good choice. The 460, these days, is easier to build into a monster-hp maker; Ford sells some pretty tricked out crate motors that make loads of power and even have warranties. The 429 would be more trick, but would probably cost quite a bit more to make equal power to the 460. Remember, though, the 429 was a late 60's car motor--they aren't efficient, and really aren't all that powerful in their stock configuration. If you want to use the truck as a truck, it's definitely the wrong choice. But as a tricked out street rod/truck, it would be way cool.
If money was no object, hey, how about building up that Ford V-10 truck motor into something really mean?!What is the difference between a ford 429 and a ford 460?i maybe wrong but i seem to remember the 460 has a longer stroke on crank=more torque, better truck motor
