New engine quiz

I got em all again, but there was an error on the 428 Cobra Jet. The photo claims that it was in a 71 Torino, however the last year for the 428CJ was 1970, and was only was installed in Mustangs & Cougars that years. 428CJs were used in 68 & 69 Torinos, but the FE engine was never installed in the 70-71Torinos, the70-71 came with optional 429s, the base Thunderjet (same engine as a Thunderbird or Big car Ford or Lincoln), the Cobra Jet(big valve/port heads, hyd. cam and a Rochester Quadrajet (Really!), and the Super Cobra Jet, (same heads as CJ, solid cam, Holley 780). The engine compartment shown in that photo was a Mustang or Cougar, the Torino did not use the bolt on shock tower to firewall braces.
