i have several stock crankshafts and was looking at the diferances in the 429 vs. the 460. first thing i noticed (other than the stroke) was a extra counterweight cast into the first throw of the 460 crank not seen on the 429? also was wondering what marks
(if any) were used to identify the 429 cobra jet cranks? i have one 429 crank that has a noticable machine mark on the third throw not seen on my other 429-460 units. also did the 460 and the 429 use the same balancer? i also have the set of flat top pistons and rods out of this one 429 motor with the machine mark on the crank and the guy i bought it from said that the rotating assy was swaped over from a CJ motor into the D1ve-A2B block due to a cracked Dove block it was in. Make any sense to anybody? i always thought that there was no differance in the CJ cranks and the stock 429 cranks other than selection of harder iron, and that they were all "cast" cranks? how do you tell a CJ crank from a regular 429 crank ?
