Joea,

The 428 CJ came in the late 1968 Fairlane Cobra and the 1969 Torino Cobra. also if you are looking for performance get the R code engine as there is no comparison to a Q code and R code except the bore & stroke. The R code came with 427 heads and low end while the Q code is basically a better Thunderbird 428. The R code was what Shelby used in the GT-500KR Mustangs. You can find a lot of 428s around and build them to what you want. I have several books on both motors and my Torino Cobra has the R code with the special option package. Per the Torino Registry there were only 97 made in the configuration I have so it may be hard to get an actual R code motor. I have been offered more just for a few parts off mine than I gave for the whold car. Good luck in your hunt.

Ron
