It's a crate motor. Ford didn't even make a pushrod motor for a passenger car in 2010.

Alan, Your are incorrect, Ford did built the 352 and the 428 in the 2010 CJ's. That are not just built on paper.
Scott, these Cobra Jets are purpose built cars for stock, just as the Challenger's and Camaros' are. The text below comes right from the NHRA rule book. "OEM may apply for inclusion of any special production runs into the Official NHRA Stock Car Classification Guide. Special run must include a minimum of 50 units of an already accepted body style, need not be showroom available. Applications evaluated on an individual basis. Acceptance will not imply precedent."
I hope this clears things up. |

Thanks for clarifying that Ken.
I stand corrected. I knew guys were buying the non pushrod engine cars turnkey. Just never heard of anyone getting a 352 or 428 turnkey.

Chris Holbrock's car was originally a 352 car and John Calvert's car is a 428 car. Now I'm not sure if both or either of these were original CJ's from Ford but I thought they were.

Jesse Kershaw informed me that three 428 equipped cars were built in 2010.
Thanks for all your help guys. |

Brian Wolfe's Cobra Jet was a 352 car and Chris Holbrooks was a 428 car originally IIRC. They also got the SEMA Silver paint job.

That's one of them... Wolfe's car was a 428 ran A/SA and Holbrook ran E/SA at Indy in '10.

Gotcha... Yeah I'm not sure which cars were turn key and which were rollers, I just know they were at Indy that year.

I was going to transform a 2010 GT into a cobra jet, The parts list from Ford comes out to approx.$8k minus motor/trans. I started to look for these parts and Ford has them listed as not available, am I missing something.
If this does not work out, 1990 mustang with a 302 for K/S. I just finished a crate motor stocker for a friend and that was alot of fun, too bad NHRA wont allow "crate" motor classes. Rich SS/DM 161 |

Here you go guys, the parts list for both the 352 and 428...notice how few of the real parts actually come from ford...that 352 is basically a stroker 302- 347 bored another .030 with the Z heads and a throttle body..no real mystery .. except the HP rating !!!
