Hello everyone.
I have been a big Shelby Cobra fan for as long as I can remember. I have had 1 question for years that I've never found an answer to and I have tried very hard to find.
The question is why didn't Shelby use the more powerful "Cammer" engine in any of his 427 models in place of the less powerful low/med/high riser sideoiler? Was it simply a matter of race regulations? Was it cost? Was it due to the SOHC's heavier weight bias? It doesn't keep me up at night but close!
It just seems to me that a guy like Carroll would want the most powerful engine possible for his creation.
Any direction on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Joe
