# of 427 cars had 428 Engines ?
How many 427 cobras had the 428 engines ?
The book I have explains there were more 428's that the 427's but, does not say how many. Anyone have the numbers ? Thanks, Kev |
I don't know if an accurate # is available, since many with 428's were changed to 427s. A friend had a 428 in his that he blew up and had it replaced with a 427 (circa 1969), it was a Street model which I believe all had 428s. I think most of the S/C models had the 428 also. SAAC would be the most logical source for that info. Unless Shelby kept records on what engine was in the cars it's probably a hard one to call.

I agree, most or all S/C cars for the street were 428 engines, I just can't find the numbers. When I bought the engine from Shelbys shop in Vegas, they said no real numbers were taken. I was surprised that they don't even know.

Kevin,
Per the 1997 registry, CSX 3201-CSX3299 came with 428 engines. CSX3101-CSX3200 had 427 engines. Then CSX3300-CSX3360 had 427 engines and I THINK these were the dual four barrels. This is per the last registry published and may not be correct as a lot of cars changed over the years. Production figures for 427 style cars are given as below! Street cars= 260 Prototype Competition Roadsters= 2 Production Competetion Roadsters= 19 Semi-Competition Roadsters= 31 Daytona Super Coupe= 1 Chassis only= 3 COB/COX cars=27 Bare stretched chassis (Paramount Film Cars)= 5 Coil Spring Total= 348 These numbers are not set in concrete and could be off as even the registry states they are approximations.

This was posted a while back...
"All the Comp cars were fitted with 427's, as were all the S/C's. Supposedly, the first 428's began showing up after CSX 3200, with the last 47 cars showing a return to the 427. " That would mean that at least 110 or so (but probably a bit more) has 428's |
There's another "427 car" with a 428 and it's in my garage:LOL:

Great, thanks guys. I'll have to ask Santa for the registry book for x-mas.
Happy holidays ! Kev |
Hey guys, I read somewhere that even a police interceptor/429 was used too???

SteveHayGood,
No - not even possible as the 429 didn't come out until 1968 - after production of the Cobras stopped. |
Kevin,
May I ask if it would be appropriate to raise my voice and yell at you to do a search? Since you are not a newbie (over 200 posts) and the FAQ section is not yet ready, is it appropriate? Just having some fun.:JEKYLHYDE :JEKYLHYDE Computerworks, More fodder for FAQing. |
Laugh it up, fuzzball. :p
I have a FAQ or two all picked out for you to author. :cool: |
Ron,
I am strangely at a loss for words. Jeez....Must be Alzheimers setting in.:CRY: :CRY: :CRY: |
