never happened r and q code cars came with a cj
By hawkrod - 02/11/2002 4:48:11 PM; IP 198.81.17.28
there is no way that ford intentionaly put the wrong engine in a car or wrong heads and intakes on a motor (it would be noted in the parts books, an example of this is some 1972 fords that are coded for 9 3/8 rear axles have 9 inch N case rears. the parts books are very specific about where and when this happened. there are no notes about the wrong heads on a 428 engine). all torino and fairlane cobras should have a 428cj and there is no reason why they shouldn't, cj production started in early 1968 and there were plenty of 68 model cars with the engine so why would they not have them for early 69 cars? check the serial number of the car and make sure the 5th digit is an R or a Q. if it is anything else the car is not a cobra and does not have a CJ. next thought is that the original engine blew early on and was replaced. it is even possible that this happened before the original owner got the car but i doubt it. most likely is that back in the 70's somebody swapped it with a 69 mustang they wanted a cobra jet for. i am guilty of this myself and put 390 running gear in several torinos. it was so long ago that the cars would look original and correct because we used all of the right parts from the 390 cars we were swapping. hawkrod
