		| You've seen factory built 428 CJ vehicles with 28 spline axles?   I'm not professing to be absolutely sure on this.  Just opinion based on a little experience.  I'm trying to think how many I've crawled around under as an owner or with friend's vehicles.  Two '69s I've had close relationship with were a Fairlane Cobra Coupe w/Drag Pack, SCJ, R-code, 3.91s was an N/31 spl.  A '69 Torino GT Q code, very plain with open 3.50, non ram air, had an N case.  A friend who currently owns a '69 Cyclone CJ w/428 CJ standard R code but non drag pack/SCJ, & open 3.50...yup, N case w/31 splines.   What I do "believe" is that the base engine-429 Thunder Jet(nothing more than the standard 360 horse T-bird engine) '70 Torino models might have been equipped with the non N case, 28 spline axles you've described. But those optioned up with the CJ/SCJ 429 got the N case/31 splines.   I want to make it clear that I'm not disagreeing with you Shoe.   I appreciate the  humility in your answers.  I don't think I will personally ever know everything that FoMoCo was doing at any point in time in the sixties.  So I look at your suggestions as real possibilities. And I'm open to good learnin'.        |
