I have a long list of ford part #'s that are supposedly 428 Cobrajet parts. I would appreciate some help identifying the following:

Crankshaft: 1U with a "A" under the 1U, has a 11 on one end of the front counterbalance and a 12 on the other end of the same balance.

Heads: C4AE one has 8090G, the other 6090G next to the C4AE.

Two sets of rods: one set is C7AE-B
the others are C6AE-E
C6AE-E rods have C8AX-6110C pistons attached.

Intake: C7AE9425F (aluminum)

Flywheel: C80E-A

The Block: 9B26. "C" in rear of casting, 352 on back & front. "E" on casting also.

Exhaust manifolds: C80E8431B & C80E8430D

Another block has 66-427 and the "C" in the rear casting with a 9D10.

Also, a "whats it worth" for a set of 428 Cast Aluminum cobrajet valve covers, and a set of original Shelby valve covers with the Shelby American stamping on the inside.

Thanks in advance!!

Crankshaft: Looks like an SCJ

Heads: Nothing special early FE.

Two sets of rods: C7AE-B - CJ if 13/32 bolts, otherwise nothing special if 38

C6AE-E - Nothing special

C6AE-E rods have C8AX-6110C pistons attached - not sure on pistons.

Intake: C7AE9425F (aluminum) - 428 PI, check exhaust crossover for "rot" if good, worth 400+

Another block has 66-427 and the "C" in the rear casting with a 9D10. - Absolutely nothing special, ignore the 427. Probably a 390, they had a core problem back then and used the back panel off of a 427. seen a MILLION of them. If it isnt crossbolted, its nothing special, not enough meat to bore. Just regular 390

428 Cast Aluminum cobrajet valve covers - big bucks, especially if nice, I'd say people pay from 200 - 400 if they are snakes

Original Shelby valve covers with the Shelby American stamping on the inside - Probably not original, but the recast that came out in the 80's and 90's. I have a couple of sets, worth about 200 if perfect. They reissued, part number and all, seems like a much rarer catch than it is, but repops go for 179-200, so they are worth that + 50 bucks I'd say
