I'm mostly just interested in info on the motor. 460 is the common swap, but I've heard good and bad about the motor's design. the 429 I've heard nothing but good about, even from Chevy guys. The 460 apparently is a top oiler, meaning the camshaft gets oil from the pump before the bottom end, whereas the 429 is the normal, other way around, which to me makes a lot more sense. If I'm wrong, correct me-this is just info from different mechanics I know.
On the other hand, most Ford guys I know love the 460 as far as big blocks go. Of course, the 429 gets even better reviews, but isn't much bigger than my 400M, so unless it was a lot better designed, more reliable, more powerful, I wouldn't bother.
Any input from the wise and knowledgeable among you is appreciated.
