I think that 255 cid engine was the first choice for the GT-40 program as well, as FORD directed it be so. Which Shelby quickly abandoned (no doubt after a talk with Ford management ) due to reliability issues. He wanted to work with a more proven engine, like the 289. Makes sense when your looking at a 24 hours Le Man type deal. Reliability is the key.
