I have a 69' 429 long block. I plan to stroke it to the 550 range, use some a-460's, a big solid roller and Trick Flows intake with about 14 to 1 comp.

The heads on the motor are casting # c-9ve-a they are 75.8 cc with 2.08 intake valve, 1.66 exhaust. Does anyone know if they are worth anything?
It also has the original 4 barrel intake on it.
It came out of a 1969 thunderbird originally.

I said I plan to. I was told that all 460 and 429 blocks were the same, that they would accept the same parts.

Using a 4.500 crank will get him there... stock blocks will pretty much all go .060, need to be sonic tested to go .080 in big horsepower applications
