I could use a little advise from those more mustang-wise than I:

Does any know the true performance differences between a 428CJ block and a 427 block (given the same top end components). I am tyring to weigh performance to price and given the unavailability and costs of 427 blocks I am considering a 428CJ, any advice???? This will be for my '67 Fastback

Also, any suggestions for suspensions to go along with the 427/428 racing engine? I've looked at Maier (as they are local to the Bay Area), but am very interested in seeing what other people have done with Total Control, etc.

Any Recommendations for Brake configuration and manufacturers?

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Best,
Derek

I would post your 427/428 engine questions on the Ford FE forum. It can be found here: http://www.network54.com/Forum/74182/

Well the 68 428CJ Mustang was about the badest Stocker back in its day with a set of headers and some slicks low 12s werent hard to achieve. If you can find 428 stuff, go for it, few people can tell the difference in them anyway, it just looks like the engine bay was carpeted with iron.

If I had a choice between the two, I would go for the 427. They were a lot more rare of an engine, and they were rated factory with about 425hp in the galaxies.

Like if someone were to offer you one or the other for free? Yeah I would go 427 too, make it a side oiler with high rise heads, nascar rods, and two fours. If I have to pay for the stuff, and I really wanted an FE, make mine a 428 or a stroked 390 with ported aluminum heads
