That doesn't mean anything. As Olddog stated, a LOT of 428's out there started life using blocks that came from disassembled 390's. If the casting numbers match, and if the block was well tested to ensure it can handle the final bore, then no harm, no foul in my mind...
I'm not sure I would call the final engine a "CobraJet" if the only Cobrajet parts in it are the connecting rods, but hey - What does "CobraJet" mean, anyway...???
"CobraJet" was just a meaningless brand name/trademark that Ford put on stickers, in order to make the Mustang sound sportier (and in order to keep cashing in on the "Cobra" mystique that Ford appropriated from its business relationship with Shelby...)
