A friend of mine just picked up an 429 for a cobra kit car he is going to build. We are trying to find the specs on the engine. The casting number is D1VE-A2B. Heres what i have

D=70's Decade
1= 71
V=:Lincoln
E=Engine

I know you have to look at the crank to identify if its a 429 or a 460.
Any idea what the A2B might be?
What is the horsepower rating on these engines?

 

This may be of some help.

IIRC, 429 2v's were rated at 320hp and 4v's at 360hp. I could be mistaken but I don't think the 429 was used in Lincoln's from 68 or so to the mid seventies. I think what your friend has is a 460.

 

All you need to do is check the stroke 3.59 is a 429, 3.85 is a 460.

 

make sure that you use the pre emissions timing set
