The 427 was a regular prod. engine for 1969. By Dave Shoe - 01/27/2002 2:42:32 PM; IP 216.243.158.158 At the start of the 1969 model year, the SCJ had not yet been conceived. The "Q" 428CJ was officially second fiddle to the "W" 427 hydraulic motor, and marketing was looking for a successor which they could give the "R" designation to the new top dog. The magic formula didn't surface in time for the start of the 1969 model run, so the dangling "R" defaulted to the highly visible air cleaner option, instead. In November of 1969, the first SCJ came rolling off the production line. This cost-effective replacement obsoleted the expensive 427 before the first one was produced for 1969. JMO, Shoe.
