428 CJ Identification By Charlie - 08/31/2005 1:06:43 AM; IP 141.151.74.4 Can anyone point me to sources to assist in identifying whether I have the original 428 CJ in the 1969 Mach1 I just purchased. I have read the 428 Registry site. I have correct date code 8K30, and it is definitley a big block. I think it has the correct intake C8OE-9425-C with good date code 8K26. Marti report has my car built on Nov 25, 1968. I can not find any casting on the passanger side block. I can not find any VIN on the small pad on the block behind cyl#8. I do see some worn out #'s (too hard to read) on the head just above this pad. Some of them I can see do match my VIN if i squint and dream enough. I only mention this because the registry site said some 428CJ had the VIN on the head, a mistake? Atthis point I do not know if I even have a 428? How do I tell without ripping it appart? Help is greatly appreciated.
