For the sake of clarity, it was CSX2589 (Shelby still owns this car) that had a 351C installed by Mike McCluskey some time in the 1970's. McCluskey removed the original 289 to install the 351C and used the original C4 automatic. Some years later, Mike replaced the 351C with it's original 289.
FYI, there were 16 leaf spring Cobras with automatics produced.
