Not Ranked
From what I've always seen and heard, Shelby approached Chevy for a small block originally, but when Duntov (or whatever that Corvette dude's name was) caught wind of it, they quickly axed Chevy's invovlement in Shelby's car. After that, Shelby got connected with Ford for the thinwall 260 V8.
That's about all I know. If Shelby was looking at a car before the Ace, I have no idea.
