RE: Is it a 428 CJ?
By Scott Hollenbeck - 08/17/2001 4:50:47 PM; IP 66.44.68.163
You asked "how do I tell somebody didn't stick in a tired Galaxy 428 and bolt a few CJ parts on?", and the sad truth of the matter is that you really can't. The only sure-fire way to identify a 428 CJ is by looking at the internals, and most sellers have a problem with providing that kind of access ;-).

As others have said, if the seller is being close-mouthed I'd be very cautious. It is WAY to easy to fake something that looks like a 428 CJ using a much more common FE short block like a 390.
