Fake Cobra...Real Shelby engine
Heard that our Superformance car is in (wasn't supposed to be until mid September), a nice surprise. Went and picked up the engine, it's out of a '67 Shelby GT500 that an Air Force guy wanted a less gas eating engine in.I think they put a 390 or 352 in it's place. He kept the original valave covers and a few other things, a friend got the rest. He rebuilt it in '98 and has just had it setting in the shop ,he's tried to sell it to me several times over the years. So i finally got it, I'll pull it down for inspection and regasketing just because it set, but the new pistons can be seen and the Crower cam has good specs, the intake needs a little cleaning from it's years of dust gathering. I wonder what ever happened to that unfortunate GT500? Well I may have gotten a "fake" Cobra but it will have a "Real" Shelby engine.  Well, I tried to attach a jpeg but it says it's too large (it's not near the 40000 bytes though), I guess I'll have to put them in the gallery.
