I HEARD ON SPEED CHANNEL THIS SUNDAY, A HEMMINGS OR MOTOR TREND DOCUMENTARY STATING THAT SHELBY FIRST USED A FEW ALUMINUM 390 ENGINES IN THE BEGINNING OF THE '63 RACING SEASON, PRE 427 CARS.
IF THIS IS CORRECT, IS A 390 AN ALLOWABLE BLOCK FOR AN ATTEMPT TO HAVE AN ACCURATE EARLY WIDE BODY REPLICA?
I HAVE HEARD CRITICISM WHEN 390 BLOCKS ARE USED ....
