If you plan to do heads and cam, I'd go with the 460. If you plan to run the stock heads, I'd go for the motor that make more hp stock (which sounds like it's prob the 429).
Well, actually I'd do it the other way around. Why? Cause the 460 has more low end torque and the stock heads would not be noticed as much with the extra grunt. But, that's just me.

The bore is larger than a 454 BBC (actually the same on both the 460 and 429) so you can put bigger valves in the BBF than the BBC.
