fe/heads/casting # ---car and code

i purchased a wrecked 1969 ford custom. the serial tag on the door, engine code Q, to signify 428. can some light be shed on this ? i understand that police should be P, but that code ended in 1968. the Q in 1969 is cj and cj was not used in that body style. am i confused or would this be a carry-over engine from 1968 for a pi or a cj? i had the engine rebuilt and the builder said it had the bigger cj rod bolts, that i had him replace with new.
the engine builder said the heads that were on it were some junk heads from a 391 truck engine that someone had put on it. i could not locate 428 heads at the time but found some heads that i was told were performance 390 heads, they have a very big intake ports. is there some way that i could identify these heads as to what they came from? i would like to find out what the chamber size, etc. is on these heads.
i have had this engine for several years in my pickup, i have just discovered this website, so thought i would pick some brains for any info i can get.
is there a site that lists ford casting numbers?
i apologize for being so long winded.
thanks for any info that can be given,
rick
