Congrats mikyFIA, I can tell you it's well worth the wait. But a "choice" between Holley or Webers... really? ;)
Looking forward to the updates as well. |

I want the Webers, and have and have had many multi-carb setups, just not Webers. Anyone know of a good book on keeping them running?

Not sure if Shelby Engines are using him, but I will ask, they are doing the Shelby Engine 331 for me.

mikyFIA,
If cost and 'perceived' complexity isn't an issue, then go WEBERS!

Thanks, that is where I am leaning. It seems the Holleys they match to these engines are no less complex, new type ones I would be lost at anyway. |

Is Joe installing one of those new black Holleys? They're nice carbs but they're not Webers ;)

I think so, new gen type Holley he says.

My engine has now been completed and dyno-tested. It makes peak HP of 466 #6200 rpm, and peak torque of 458 @4700 with the 4-48 IDAs and the special grind cam, from Shelby Engines, sounds pretty stout.

CSX 7972 is now about to leave SAI and head to Tom Barnard's to be finished, getting close.

Looks great.
Didn't the 50th anniversary brochure show white wheels?

Yes, they will be, and have the Goodyear big letter stencil tires, this is just a roller.
