424 the number of miles the deepest piece of the Space Imaging's IKONOS satellite would be from its original spot in orbit if it fell from the sky 423 miles from earth as viewed from directly over Siberia, Russia by Space Imaging's IKONOS satellite itself.

Of course if it hits any of the Nuclear reactors below all bets are off!

428 cobra-on-wheels.gifThis is the engine that strikes fear in the hearts of the Bow Tie crowd. It should, it knocked the drag racing world over in 1968 with a stunning win at the Winternationals in SS/E with a 12.12 109.48 pass in the 1/4. This same engine is the Heart of the fastest Fairlanes or Torinos in 68 and 69. For 68 it was a mid year option, available April 1, 1968 and not many were built. For 69 it was standard for all Cobra's and Cyclone CJ's and available as an option on all others. Think of the 428 as a more Streetable 427. Heads are actually 427 Low-Risers with new exhaust manifold holes drilled and provisions for smog fittings. Horsepower was rated at 335hp. This rating is accurate at the RPM it was measured at. 428CJ made over 400HP easy. Ford choose to advertise the 335 figure for several reasons 1) insurance 2) Super Stock Class it would run in.

The following was taken from the 1969 Muscle Parts Catalogue. The information in the ( ) is added by me.

The 428 "Thunderbird" engine came on the scene in 1966 to replace the 390 as the "heavy hauler" in Fords and Thunderbirds. It was quite, lightweight for its displacement, and put out over 300 "advertised" horsepower. Seeing this engine had potent performance possibilities, Ford performance engineers interchanged some parts from the ultra-hot 427, added some entirely new pieces, and came up with the 428 Cobra- Jet.
