Well this whole thing got me to digging out my old Chiltons/Motors manuals and looking up a few things. Interesting the 460 and 429 share the same bore, different stroke. I would have guessed the 429 came first, logic being manufacturers start small and grow big.

One thing that left me baffled. The 429 head bolt torque is 130 to 140 pounds. But the BOSS 429 is only 90-95 pounds. I would have swore the BOSS would have at least as high a torque as the standard 429. Whats up with that?
