There were no 428's in 64 or in T-birds until 66 so either you posted the wrong year or someone put that motor in.

You are correct. Memory fades when you own a car for 2 weeks just to pull the motor out. I had never met Lance and only spoken on the phone before my arrival. In the short time I spent with him I knew he would be more than capable of what he said and he did know the FE motor very well. This was what I needed.
Nice cars Charlie!! I think I remember seeing only one of those Chevies in my lifetime, the Ford, well I have seen a few more now.
