i believe all (and when i say all, i realize that one or two may have gone through but not the numbers claimed by some sources) original CJ blocks should have had a C on the back. and as far as that C goes i really don't believe it means cobra jet like so many people say it does. if that was true why do galaxies have an A and tbirds an S on the back of their 428 blocks? look up the part number for a CJ block and you will notice an odd bit of trivia, it is a mercury part C8M#! (you have to look the part number up in an original 69 or 70 parts book, the later printings have one block for all 428 applications). what does this have to do with anything you may ask? well for some reason in the parts books refer to full size fords and mercs as A line, tbirds are S line (see my note about the A and S on the other 428 blocks) and as i am sure most people know the mustang and cougar are F line but the odd bit about this is the fairlane torino is the B line but the comet montego line is C. add this C and the mercury part number and then A+B=C. just my .02, hawkrod |
