Not all dyno readings are the same. Depends on the dyno being used. Some give a more generous reading and others can hurt your feelings. I feel mid - higher 400's is about right. A 427 would make more power. This reading on a 428 with upgrades mentioned is where it should be.

Sleeved all 8 cylinders back to stock bore. Stroked crank. Don't know exact cubic inches, but I think it's around 468. Compression is 10.5/1 or close about. Designed to run on pump gas. I have original heads but we are running 68 cobra jet heads that were ported and polished. Roller top and bottom. It runs very strong but keeps a stock look.

We did make some upgrades to the rotating assembly. Roller cam/Roller rockers / balanced - blueprinted. Made mid 400s at the crank on dyno

As far as we know it was added shortly after purchase. Probably was all that was available from Shelby or wanted to try and solve overheating issues that were common. Either way a car with mid Jan build date would not have had louvered hood from factory. All early pictures of car from original owner show louvered hood.

2 owner car that spent its entire life 10 minutes from my house. Put away in late 80's. Restored couple years back. Blast to drive.
