Yessiree...and you could get shakers on both the 428 and 351 4v, M code. The rest is bull...
351 2v is the least engine you could get on a 69 Mach1.

Ford used a whole line of FE engines in their cars back then. The 427 7.0L, the 427 SOHC "Cammer", the 428, the 428 Cobra Jet, the 428 Police Interceptor and the 428 Super Cobra Jet. So yes, the 427 was used in a lot of Fords's cars to include the Thunderbird and Galaxie models. So, to say the 427 hasn't been proven to exist is just not completely true. However, this guy has a 351 2V. So, you and I are just waving our arms and shouting at each other. We'll see what the numbers are regarding the interior.

Ok answer me this, Had a buddy in High School, about 1976, had a 69 coupe. It was a GT with a 302 and Shaker hood. That was before I knew that the GT option in 69 was rare. This car didn't seem to be modified. Everything seemed to be factory. Does this sound possible? 69 and newer are not my area of expertise.

soaring, I think old boy is saying that the 427 was never proven to exist in the 68 Mustang. They are supposed to be out there but know body has seen one.

um, trust me, I know ALL engine codes for ALL Mustangs up to 1993, the 427 would have been a W, as for the police intercepor 428, none were offered in Ford Mustangs, the Cobra Jets were the only ones available, now the SOHC, it was available as an over the counter option only.

before this goes to far, some people will point out that the early 1967 Shelby GT500's had a 427, and most 1967 and all 1968 GT500's had the police intercepter 428's....I was stating only FORD Mustangs

The 428CJ Mach1 came with the shaker hood from the factory, but for the 351, and the 390 equipped Machs, it was an option. Yes, the 390 was still an option engine in 69.
