Its a shame, I have a complete 66 429 that turns over (last time we messed with it) and would be a good candidate for something like this. (I'm NOT trying to sell it here, just making a statement). As always the optimum deal is to pull an engine like this from the donor yourself, taking all that is needed.

You're correct about the year. Although 1964 was the oldest cadillac that came with a 429. The last year that had a 429 was 1967. Although smaller than the 500, it still made 340 hp and 480 torque stock. As for the bolt patter, I believe you are correct about them being round.
