Karl,
I have a book-" The 1969 Mustang Cobra Jet Engine Reference Manual by Joseph G. Sikora that tells everything about the 428 CJ and 428SJC engines, right down to the color of each bolt and if the factory paint had missed some parts". My car was not a show room car as it was a special order that the dealer could only get 1 of. The only way I knew about it was the dealer was a friend of mine and called me one day and asked me if I wanted one. I have seen two R code Mustangs and they both have the same heads as mine which are 427 MR heads. I don't know about their rods and such as I never saw the inside but my engine has the 427 NASCAR rods in it. And as I stated above, mine is in the registry and they can only verify about 30 some of the original 97 of this setup. There were 500 Torino and Fairlane Cobras made and you cann find that information at the Torino Cobra website. My engine has a flat tappet solid lifter Isky cam with 302 duration and .630 lift and also has an 850 Holly double pumper which was all dealer options in 1969. The boring and blueprinting I asked for. The NASCAR running gear was another unpublished option. I also have the so called drag pack which is another option that wasn't published in 1969. But no, so far as I knonw there is no actual count of all the engines made and what options you could have from the factory and dealer. I wouldn't have know about any of the stuff I have if the dealer hadn't told me about it.
