Actually, if memory serves me correctly, there was a 428 CJ, but the SCJ was offered only with a 429. I could be wrong. My brother had a '69 428 CJ Torino with a tailend so lite from the factory, that doing a burn out came naturally, and there was a lot of wasted momentum because of that lite backside. Giving it gas on wet pavement meant that it went nowhere because of the weight up front, no weight in the rear, so the tires pretty much only spun. Being a BB Chevy guy myself, I did have a '69 Mustang with a 390 in it, factory as well. Not as healthy as the 428 CJ or 429 SCJ, but it was fun and had far better weight distribution than my brother's Torino. In both cars, since the engines so filled the engine compartment to the point that not all of the plugs were reachable, we used hole saws to put holes through the wheel wells so that we onlt needed to remove the tires to change plugs as opposed to unbolting motor mounts to lift up where they were accessable.
I do have lots of respect for the Boss 429 head, but not as much as Mopar's Hemi head. Still though, as a BB Chevy guy back in the day, I did respect the Boss 429 head design. It was well thought out. Everyone has his preferences though. Chevy could have had a better BB head design, but they had what they had and I couldn't afford Arias Hemi heads for mine.
