My friend's shop was broken into last night and my 428cj/c6 combo were some of the stuff stolen. The engine and trans were rebuilt and waiting to go in the Torino this week. So much for a happy thanksgiving.
How many 428cj motors are floating around houston right now anyway? You can see in the picture it had the Comp rockers, edelbrock water pump, and Canton pan. It had Lemans rods with forged dished pistons (I forget the manufacturer, but high dollar). The transmission had an Exner Transmission sticker on the top of the bell housing. I got lucky they didn't take the Crites mounts, cross member, and headers that had just been powder coated and sitting in a box.
It really seems like they had a buyer for the motor, since they didn't touch the fresh 31 spline traction lok pumpkin sitting 10 feet from the motor or the Moser axles to go with it. They even left the brand new mini-starter in the box under the engine stand. Although they did get the new one-wire alternator since it was mounted on the motor.
If you are in the Pasedena / Houston, TX area and see this engine please report it immediately to the proper authorities.
