My 69 GT500 has been running with a (1968 427 s.o) since about 1970. My drag pack car was raced and blew the 428 so the PO went back to Gotham Ford and got a replacement 427 to continue racing.
I have my original 428 SCJ block, crank, rods, and most pistons, balancer, etc... but 2 cylinders need sleeved due to the bottom of cylinder wall being chipped. The original heads, carb, and exhaust manifolds from my 428 SCJ were transferred over the the 427 and the PO went with an aftermarket performance Edelbrock (single four barrel intake) so it would work with the fresh air hood.
With plans to put my original engine back together again, I have an opportunity to buy a 428 intake from a good friend and would like to know how to identify it and make sure it is correct for my car. Aside from the casting number, are there other identifiers such as date, etc.. that would make it right / wrong ? What should I be looking for?
Build date on my car is Feb 5, 1969.
This is one of the major missing parts to put my 428 SCJ back together.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
