Wink Re: 428CJ Stock Class Valve Lift .527 ?

.527 .527

I've read that Ford said the C8AX-C hydraulic cam was "optional", with lift of
.500 .500 1.73 rockers or
.509 .509 1.76 adjustable rockers
AFAIK no 428CJ ever left the factory with that cam but several sources say it was NHRA Stock legal even back to 1968.

But a cam with
.527 .527 lift in STOCK class 428CJ
Is this a typo (for all 3 years) or what?
What are stock class 428CJ's running today as max lift? .509 or .527?
thanks in advance
This one should get interesting,,,,,,
