What is the difference between a 429 cobra jet and a 429 thunder jet. Internally, HP ratings, which is a better buy. Is there any way to tell the difference just by looking at them from the outside.

heads are the main difference

easy to tell them apart
CJ heads have a valve cover bolt hole that is open to an intake port IIRC
CJ was a best of everything engine

CJ heads are D0OE
CJs also run the better truck style rods(football shaped bolts)

Didn't the ThunderJet only come in the Thunderbird?

the thunderjet is the same motor as any C8-DOVE headed motor. 365 Brake HP on 110 octane gas. (for the 460)
