Engine sounds nice. Why Shelby?

You will find it weighs about the weight of an iron sb with alloy heads. Of course, an aly sb would be perhaps 90 #'s lighter, or so.

And don't forget the juge iron diff, to be replaced with Kirkhams aly unit, which is much better engineered.

The huge iron FE lumps with iron heads have a much higher moment than the sb's, which is one of the reasons they turn-in better on mickey mouse road courses and are easier to catch when starting to rotate out of shape...

FIA homo docs for 427: has anyone ever seen them?
