Casting numbers won't help.
By Royce Peterson - 03/22/2004 1:36:56 PM; IP 66.161.200.109
The garden variety 428 FE's used all the same casting numbers as any 352, 390 or 410 of similar vintage. You really have to measure bore and stroke.

Crankshafts are the only exception, 428 cranks are marked 1U, 1UA or 1UB. None are any stronger than the others but the 1U and 1UB are more desirable for a performance engine because they are easier to balance.
