A 428CJ in a Kirkham?

[John McMahon]

In my mind, it is the right moder...especially on the street. I had a 428 CJ built for my first Cobra, a Unique, it made about 500HP and was very easy to run, low maintenance. It also made great power on a road course and pulled through the complete power band. The CJ is a much better block than the SCJ.

Don't let anyone tell you you HAVE to have a 427SO.

Back to that age old question about budget and driveability here it seems. I have had both a 428 and a 427 in the very same Mustang and loved both engines. The 428 was a fairly mild build intended to drive around on the street which did its job perfectly. When it came time (read I had more money) to go faster the 427HR was a screamer. Either way you can't go wrong with a FE built correctly.

Have fun...
