Totally false ...
Improvements include a stronger steel frame and better alloys used in the components, plus better cooling and additional heat shielding to make these cars safer and more drivable without losing any of their original character.
Shelby Cobra 427 S/C Continuation Series

Yes Evan, Carroll Shelby also wanted Chevy power for the original series.

... and I would agree, that is the nature of replicas/component cars/kit cars.
