This is a very old thread and to be honest this was an engine I bought before I knew much about FE engines. There is a lot of good information posted by others but I can tell you my next engine about six months later was a 428 CJ bored .030 and built by Steve Carbone from pan to intake was by far one of my best and fastest engines including my present 427 C.O..
As Bubba said a lot of the HP in a 428 CJ comes from the top end and the grunt (torque) comes from the bottom. I used solid lifters, 600+ lift cam, a Sidewinder intake with a 850 Race Demon and made about 480 hp at the wheels and if I remember correctly a little over 550 at the flywheel. If I have to replace the 427 in my Cobra now I will definitely go back to a 428CJ.
