I have a 428 for sale on the central coast. Santa Maria to be exact. The motor came out of a 68 Galaxie station wagon that I was going to use as a tow vehicle for my FE powered Mustang. Here are the specifics on the motor.
Block: C7ME casting, 8A19 date code, X cast in the lifter valley indicating high nickel block, extra webbing also cast in the main bearing area. The block is standard, never bored. The vin stamped on the back of the block matches the vin from the window tag on the body of the car.
Crank: C6ME, same crank as 68 and early 69 Cobra Jet. Never turned, has the harmonic dampener.
Rods: C6AE
Heads: C8AE-H, 428,390.
Distributor: C8AF-12127-Y, date 712.
This motor ran in my presence and is not garbage. E-Mail me if you have any other questions@
