As far as I know the 428 was just a Ford 390 with a longer stroke. My brother had a 428 and it did have better pistons and probably other stuff to stand up to the higher revs and power output, but it was basically a 390 (although with low rise dual 4 barrel carburetors) - the same engine in the station wagon with a single dual barrel carburetor. The rocker arms were on a rocker shaft, like the 390, while the 429 and 351 Cleveland had canted valve trains that allowed the engines to breath better.

A quick way to tell externally. 410 and 428 are external balance and require the front weight and the correct flywheel. The also others that can screw you , uhaul motors... But the 4o6 is the god father block of the 427fe. Motor - the 406 was Ford’s response. It wasn’t a big change from the 390, just a 0.080-inch-larger bore, with thicker walls in the engine block casting. Compression went from 10.6:1 to 10.9, exhaust valves got slightly larger, and to take the extra stress, piston and connecting rods were strengthened. Carbs and camshaft, crank and the dual exhaust stayed the same. The three-carburetor setup had become available as a dealer-installed option in 1961... Wish to build a bass ass 410 - use a 360/390 block, 350 olds 69 hi pro flattop pistons and long rods from a in line 6cly Ford with after market rod bolts.... the rods will be a big weakness - but with a .ooo7 hone that piston fits very well...

Super hot looking and super fast. Wish they woulda dropped a few side oilers into the mach chassis cuz they'd be the epitome of rare.

I had a 428 rebuilt 25+ years ago. In stock trim on the dyno, it pulled 392 hp. With added ceramic- coated exhaust headers and a change to a dual quad set up and an aluminum intake (originally available on the '67 428 interceptor), it was up to 420+ hp! Ford definitely gave us a wink and fibbed on the h.p. capability of this legendary beast to pull the wool on the insurance company bean counters!

Mustang fan. That is my dream car.

Anyone that believes the 335hp rating for the Super Cobra Jet is living in another world. That is probably one of the most underrated engines in that era. I wonder if it had anything to do with keeping insurance costs down. Anyway, my first Mach One was a 69 390 4sp in Acapulco Blue. I could beat most SS 396 Chevelles but never raced a 396 Camaro. My second one was identical to this one except it was red. It was the pace car at the old Fairgrounds Speedway in Salt Lake City. Super Cobra Jet 4:30 gears with the C-6. It passed everything but a gas station. Man, I wish I had that car back.

I've seen a 428CJ dyno at 406. A 428SCJ actually doesn't have any more power. They use the same intake, heads, carbs, exhaust, etc. If anything, an SCJ should make a tiny bit less HP because it used heavier rods but they were built to withstand more punishment. They also came with an oil cooler and being more rare, they are worth more.

Really I love all muscle cars regardless of the manufacturer. Dodge, Plymouth, Ford, Mercury, Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile....Hell even American Motors built some bad ass machines in the late 60s and early 70s

When I came home from Vietnam, I had basically saved all of my pay, plus some poker winnings.

Mustang Mach 1 hands down! The Camaro styling was old and stubby by then and the Mach 1 was sleek and beautiful and the best interior for decades! The numbers don't lie either what America thought because 80k Mach 1 sold and almost half of them with 428 power. 300 some 4 speed 396 Camaros with 375 hp. The Mach 1 was 400 hp+ with a minor tune. Just like the GM and Mopar big blocks.

Mustang. My dad had the exact same car when I was a kid. A blue 69 mustang mach 1 with the 428 Cobra Jet. I loved him taking me to school in it in the early 80s. It would've been nice if he kept it for me.

Nice! 2 greats ... but on this one i'd take the Mustang . I always preferred Trans Am's to Camaro's on the GM side but out of the Camaro and Mustang in this video i'd go with the Mustang ,love that Camaro SS though .

69 Mach 1 all the way I currently have a 2007 gt mustang that I have mods done to it, it’s the closest look of a 69 out there and I had a 69 fastback years ago but not a Mach just a standard 302 3 speed manual car but was fun to drive. Wish I still had it

I had to chuckle when I saw this video. As a teen In the mid '70s I had a '69 SS 396 (L78) Camaro, it was even the same color as the one in the video, while one of my best friends had a '69 Mach 1 428 CJ, red with a shaker hood. Both were 4 speeds with a Hurst T, but otherwise the CJ was stock. My SS had a full cam, headers, 4.11 posi, and a load of other hot rod goodies. I came from a Chevy family, he was a Ford fanatic, and we had friends in the Mopar tribe and even one with a '69 AMX 390. Although we all used to rag on each other, in reality we all appreciated sweet examples of Detroit iron no matter who made it even if we didn't always want to admit it. Due to their different DNA, my SS and his CJ had different personalities aside from the way they were modded (or not). My SS was wound much tighter than his CJ due to its hot rod goodies and gearing, which was good and bad. Being built for the 1/4 mile, it was quicker off the line than that stock CJ, but it likely had less top end and was more temperamental and thus harder to live with on a day to day basis. That lumpy cammed rat motor sure sounded sweet, though. The 396 had much more room to work under the hood than the 428 'Stang due to the difference in shock tower placement. Under hood maintenance such as changing plugs, which had to be done far more frequently in those days, was laughably easier on my SS than his CJ. We sometimes swapped cars on cruise night, and being almost completely stock and not as tightly wound his CJ was better behaved and ran cooler than my SS. Heat was always an issue with higher compression and more radical cam, and was much harder to manage with the equipment we had available back then. In fact, on hot summer nights on the strip I'd make just an occasional pass in the SS then park it and watch the parade go by. Being stock, his CJ wasn't so affected. I preferred the seating position in my Camaro over the Mustang, where the driver sat lower in the car. I'm 6'2", but it was still more challenging to see over the dash and long nose of that Mustang especially with the shaker. Visibility to the rear wasn't great in either, but the Mustang's roof line, rear window slant (with slats), and lower seating position created bigger blind spots. The more upright interior of the Camaro vs the swoopier Mustang made the interior feel lighter, roomier, and easier to get in and out of the front and especially back seats. In general, they each have/had pros and cons and the SS is definitely my sentimental favorite, but I'd take either one of them in a heartbeat.

i was a stock clerk at a supermarket wen i bought my 69 mach1 exactly like that one interior an exterior at the age of 16yrs old. cant wait to find another one. sweet days ago

Both are great cars, but to me it's always been Mustang.

When I was in my early teens there was a couple 69 camaros in the neighborhood, loved them and want one someday. But then I saw a 69 mach 1 and the Camaro wasn't even a thought. Bought my 69 mach 1 and 20 after 2 years of looking

Just checked the September 2020 Pure Stock Drags a 69 Camaro SS396 with the 375hp rating and 4.10 gears did the 1/4 mile 12:42 @ 111.84 the 69 Mustang 428 SCJ with 4.10 gears did it in 12:85 @ 107.92 both were automatic cars. Both amazingly fast!

428-SCJ Mustangs set records in NHRA SS that took a long time to break. They ran a 40# steel flywheel like mine used to have and speed-shifted them...10's w/ small tires.

Mustang fan hands down

I believe its well accepted that the 428 cobra jet made about 415-420 hp and the 396/L89 was good for 405-410 hp but was lighter motor. Thanks.

Agreed, even the ford factory cj intake was cast iron,

The 396 is lighter due to the aluminum intake and heads but a typical 396 is heavier than a 428 CJ.

Once again, the 428 in stock trime is 355-360HP at the flywheel.

Back in 69 I would have slaved for years to get a Mach 1 Cobra Jet! Never happened and I gravitated to the Camaro SS 2 years ago. Still love the look of both. 69 and 70 saw some of the beautiful muscle cars ever!

Really tough choice. Can't go wrong with either car

nice ss but i own 2004 compition orange mach 1 so my answer is the 69 cj all day

Mustang please. The Camaro’s a close second though.

I would have loved either one and still would. I turned 16 in 1969 and drooled over both of these cars.

I'm a Mustang guy, favorite is a 71 Boss 351, then 69' Boss 429. That is definitely a nice Camaro as well. I like the 60's & 70's cars in general.

Had a new ' 69 427 Camaro back in the day , Mustangs were NO problem !

Both are vary nice but I’ll have to go with the mustang gorgeous car!

Both are absolute icons. No 1 person should have to make a choice. Find 1 or the other. You hit solid CAR gold....

My Dad owned that Mustang in Candy Apple Red in 1969 with 4 speed Hurst. I actually love both cars and was a Corvette guy for years. Great video!

428 THUMPER

Both are awesome. Just lean more to the Camaro. Always wanted a SS/RS big block

yup. always been the prettier and better sounding car. Plus the fact that in SoCal you can't go on a drive and see a mustang at every corner, it just robs all the specialness and coolness from the car.

I bought my first car in 1979 when I was 16 years old from our neighbor and it was a 1969 Mach I 428 Cobra Jet just like the one in the video but it was white with the red trim.i bought it for $900 and it was a beast. I got married two years later and had to sell it because I couldnt pay for the gas and upkeep and take care of a family. I still have it in the back of my mind to try and find one to buy one day but that is probably a pipe dream. Nothing but good memories.

Out of the 281,000 Camaros produced in 1969, over 300,000 are Z28’s.

Tough choice, tough cars. I would take both of them. Salivating at the chop, thanks Kevin for another great episode. Louis Kats

My first car was a 66 Mustang. I really like the 69 fastback and the Mach 1 option is fantastic. But I can also give credit to the Camero

Just can't spell!!!

I'd love to rock that Mach I

Tough choice, but I would need to go with the Camaro. Always liked the Camaro ever since I rode in Dave Bruiley’s 1967 Camaro with a 327 in it.

Mustang all day every day

I will take the Mustang

Another Great video, keep up the great work.

i'm Mustang fan but that SS is cool too. and now , i love both
