I just got through tearing down my 428 CJ engine.Good news bad news kinda thing.It has the C slashed on the back of the block & has never been bored or had the crank turned-much to my suprise.But,it does not have the right CJ pan on it.The pan that came off of it has these #'s on the bottom of it 10 31D2.It has no indents for steering linkage & has an upright triangular "shark-fin"looking baffle in it.Anybody know what this pan fits-year model ? Thanks JW

Hello brand new to the board.

Here is my story.

I have a 64 1/2 mustang convertiable that was in an accident 4+ years ago. It has been sitting in my parants barn since the wreck under a cover. I just recently reviced the insurance $$ to fix it.

It was deemed totaled by the insurance company hit hard in the right front qtr pannel. The car was my grandma's she was the 2ed owner the car was restored in the late 90s.

My question is what is the best way to figure out if I should get it fixed with the $ or should I sell it/part it out, And use the insurance $ to buy a diffrent car.

Thanks Othello.

i have a 390 that i'm rebuilding and recently discovered i have 428 cj heads. i have a ford performance book that says that says its a common performance upgrade and comes on hi po 390's. my question is that the book says that the 428 cj heads have smaller valves and a larger combustion chamber wich lowers the compression ratio in my 390 from 10.5 to 9.6. what makes them performance with smaller valves and raise compression. i thought you wanted to opposite. any advice is appreciated except get edelbrock's cause i've cleaned and painted them with a newly ground 3 angle valve job. thanks
