2007-up Shelby GT350/GT500/500SS/500KR / 7.3 Godzilla 2011 Shelby GT350

Last post by A.AL-Thani - Today at 09:29:28 AM

Hey everyone I have a 2011 GT350 CSM#149, it is an N/A with AT trans I heard they made 7-10 cars only but anyway lets cut the story short I'm planning to swap the coyote motor to 7.3 Godzilla and adding a MT  TR6060 trans, and I'm keeping the original drive train safe, maybe it will affect the value I don't know and I don't care but since  this car is a keeper and Im not planning to sell it ever because this is my first ever Shelby I bought it  brand new almost 13 years ago, the car is not a garage queen I drive it enjoy it I'm hear to share this idea with you guys and see if there is any advice and tell me what do you think of this build?, also the idea of this car is much like what if there is a GT350 super snake or 427 version of the modern 350 I've seen some classic Shelby's on YouTube being modified check the link below and the modification didn't affect the value that much as long as the build is in high quality, let me know what do you think of this build

Parts For Sale / NEW 14" BFG Silvertown Pin Whi...

Last post by Shawn - Today at 09:00:36 AM

I had previously made a post for 4 rims along with these tires.  I have decided to keep the rims and the tires are for sale.  Just changed my mind on the white wall style.  Purchased new from Coker Tire last fall and had mounted on my rims to move the car out of paint shop.  Tires have no road use and are just a few months old. Paid $1,400 for the 4 tires willing to sell for $900 obo

Thanks for the information.

Finding space for the "viewing monitor" in small cars is always going to be the issue?

I'm trying to find the combination for my Pantera where the monitor is the rear view mirror and the screen is 100% of the mirror, not a 2" x 3" miniaturization? At this moment, that screen size is the limiting factor for me.

Technology marches on and probably it is just a matter of time before the right combination appears?


As far as the GT's being wrecked, I'd take an educated guess and say that the percentage of total wrecks is similar to the '60s wrecked Cobras, Corvettes and all other "performance" cars, not to mention motorcycles?

With vehicles of this performance magnitude it is just going to happen probably even to some "qualified drivers" but there are no drivers ratings like for aircraft. The qualification is just that you can afford to buy the car. The percentage of unqualified's now is probably comparable to the 1960's, just a larger base population to draw from?


A fair comparison might be the discussion about private persons being able to afford paying the $12-20 million to take a ride into space? The thought is that there are enough people that can afford that to create a waiting line?

When Ford decided to cross over into manufacturing "super cars" they understood that it was a different market and the customer's a  different customer. It wasn't a '65 Mustang "Secretaries car" market. While there is certainly "old money" in the world, a term that I remember was "nouveau riche" and the "spending orgy" that entails with it's onslaught initially?

"Captains of Industry" fit in there somewhere as well but it looks like they are more responsible? Maybe?

FWIW, when I was restoring 6S1487, just the staples were there. I found that the staples seemed identical to those used on the splash shields. They probably used the same industrial staple gun to apply them. You can install them manually and fold over from the backside.
