Well, folks, Carroll Shelby was one of the original fakers. My original "427 Cobra", CSX 3288, has a 428 PI engine, with its original "427 Cobra" valve covers, "427" badges on the fenders, and original sales literature for the "427 Cobra" that lists the engine as a 428! Needless to say, because of originality concerns ONLY, I have left all those lies as they are. OK, raise your hand if you believe I really want to correct all those factual errors! However, my sense of guilt requires me to admit to MOST folks that it is really a 428.
