Q code motor

I thought Q code was only for FE engines, but what it used to mean in the really old day was a hot street motor while R code was full bore racing motor. But like I said I thought it only applied to FE block engines.

He's likely referring to a 4V open chamber head motor. Should work fine for what you have in mind, assuming it's not already bore 0.030" over. I picked one up recently that was standard bore with no ridge, had the oil pan with the baffle and scraper, 4 bolt mains, and a set of closed chamber heads (someone had swapped out the open chamber heads).

Actually, in 69/70 a Q code was a 428CJ or SCJ (FE) w/o the shaker. The R code was the same motor with the Shaker.

Right on johnk ! Been dealing in FE's a long time and thats all I could think of.

Thanks Guys, I'll kkep looking. By the way Ron, Remember whan I asked about those CJ heads in the truck.. well the truck got STOLE and is gone.

I thought it was and FE thing. Thanks Johny.

Yea, believe it or not those CJ heads are worth some bucks to the boys in the restoration mode. Because most of them CJ Mustangs were raced till no end. So now they are hard to come by. They make a lot of horse power and torque with a stock motor.

LPB,
Email me the info on the GN. I have always wanted to own one.
