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.

Larry I can understand you missing the 428 motor, you never get to see the front end of a 428 car, maybe they should show the rear bumpers. LOL!!!!!!!! You and family have a great year.

19 for me but the 370 pontiac had the wrong air cleaners on it . It originally came with a dual snorkle cleaner for the tri- carb versions.

The small air cleaners came later on the 421's and GTO's.
