Default 428 owners, what type of block are you using?
For those of you sporting 428 FE's in your Cobra, what type of block are you using? Police Interceptor, Cobra Jet, Super Cobra Jet, or a standard 428?

I'd also be interested in what you gained by using a PI, CJ or SCJ block as opposed to the standard 428. (The only difference I'm aware of is the extra webbing around the main bearings. Are there other differences? Also, can you acheive the same level of strength with a standard 428 with a main bearing girdle?)

Main bearing girdle? I think that's the correct term. Basically a plate that ties all of the bearing caps together.
