They were higher compression 428 CJ's with better flowing heads sodium filled exhaust valves. The Canadian engines also did not require thermactor systems. They were built from 1968 to 1970.  ------------------

Are they worth more for a stocker application
ie) are they class legal? ------------------

Fred, a traditional 428 CJ 'Mustang runs SS/F or SS/G. The Canadian head 428 runs SS/E in a '68 Mustang. I have a pic of such a car, and will post it here when I find it Mike

They are indeed more valuble than a regular USA version CJ. The NHRA/IHRA rates the Canadian versions at 375 HP as opposed to the regular ones at 360 HP. With or without ram air. ------------------
