Hi Rise heads on 427

[marcocsx3121]

None of the originals were sold by Shelby with the high risers. Post-delivery, who knows?

Thanks for very much for the replies. I'm looking at a 427 with them and am concerned that finding an intake to go with them might be a problem. May be more trouble than it's worth.

Actually, several years ago I had spoken to somebody "in the know", with alot of experoience with original cars, specifically about this issue, and he told me he knew of at least one car that came with iron HiRisers from shelby. I think early on, the comp cars were listed as coming standard with those heads in some advertising info.

Anthony: I also have a lot of experience with the original cars, having been the Eastern Regional Director of The Cobra Club. Someone once told me "never say never", but there sure is a lot of mythology around that seems to have started around the time that the CSX3--- cars began to escalate in value.

I'm sure you know alot more about the original cars than me, or what I will ever know, but in the past I was intrigued by tha fact that in some early SAI advertising, the comp cars were listed as coming standard with HiRiser heads. Obvioulsy, not many , if any, of these cars came with these heads. I had talked to several people about original CSX3000 cars, and somehow I got in touch with somebody out west, to specifically answer my question. He told me that he knew of one car, that from what he knew had the original engine, and it had iron HiRiser heads. I also remember about 5-7 years ago there was a CSX3XXX car on ebay, stating that it had the original engine, and it had HiRiser heads, for sale from a classic car dealer I think. I can't remember the serial number, but I think it was a street 427 car. I don't know if it was the same car I was told about prior to that.

I would guess the SAAC registrar for CSX3000 cars would know.
