RE: Cobra Engine Builds....
By Mel Clark - 11/21/2001 12:54:23 PM; IP 152.163.207.198
Shelby Built very few FE engines as Ford supplied all of the engines ready for installation. The vast majority that they modified recieved top end treatment of porting and polishing and sometimes a cam change. If the buyer was a real high roller he might have opted for the Hi-Riser set up or aluminum heads or even a complete build up, but very few would spend several thousand more for a max race engine. It was a case of too much being almost enough and most buyers already had too much with either the 427 or the 428 in a Cobra. Besides, if the buyer was good a enough racer Ford or Shelby would give him whatever parts he needed or wanted. Ford was pretty liberal at that time.
This thread, so far...
