Were any engines really cast especially for Shelby? Based on the stories I have heard, Shelby bought finished engines and casted blocks as-needed from Ford; none were purpose-cast just for him. Has ever a 427 or 428 surfaced in a real Cobra that is dramatically different than any other high performance 427 or 428 to support this notion?
