1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / Re: 68 KR front steering/suspe...
Last post by SAcobra427 - December 04, 2025, 06:55:22 PMThanks everyone for the suggestions, sorry for the delayed response, I have "notify me of replys" checked but got no Email ? I believe both of the upper A arms and 1 of the lower ones are original.
I thought I had seen a place somewhere that restored A arms with the correct ball joints, rivets etc. but cant remember who.
Thanks Bob for the Choko link, I will contact them about the steering stuff for sure.

Last post by FL SAAC - December 04, 2025, 06:46:32 PMQuote from: 98SVT - was 06GT on December 04, 2025, 03:16:54 PMALL the "Shelby, Cobra, GT350, GT500" Mustangs since 1967 have been FULLY developed by Ford Motor Company.
The were done by inhouse by Ford Engineers under the guise of several different departments - Shelby Automotive, Motorsports, SVO, SVT.
Yes even the 2006-08 Shelby GTs got changes installed that were developed and produced by Fords engineers.
Don't forget that the coil spring 3000 Cobra chassis was also created on the drawing board of Ford's chassis genius Klaus Arning - who also created the mods for the 65 GT350 chassis.
I couldn't agree with you more, that's exactly what I was thinking.
You've nailed it and I feel the same way
Thanks again and enjoy from

C.S.M. baby !
Merry Christmas to ALL !

Last post by FL SAAC - December 04, 2025, 01:07:15 PMIn several occasions I have mentioned that the new Ford production GT350s are SVT products
But I have been corrected with numerous replies stating other departments.

Last post by FL SAAC - December 04, 2025, 12:23:37 PMQuote from: TA Coupe on December 03, 2025, 08:39:49 PM[Posi. Regular Gas. This was back in the Mid 80's. Un-Capped that beast sounded like a Top Fuel Dragster. I really miss that Car. Got pulled every weekend doing 20 to 25 over and never got a Ticket]
How did you manage to run regular gas with 13 To one compression ratio?
VTGT500,
About 20 years latter I took advantage of CNC ported Edlebrock heads with JE pistons to suit chamber profile. Also upgraded to Dove shafts and rocker and with a 294S cam. Three days on a SuperFlow dyno tweaking air:fuel and timing on pump gas best we could garner was 483 HP. In the ball park of what's written about the GT40 program.
Why do built FE engines seem to struggle to get much past 1.1 horsepower per cubic inch? 483hp seems awfully low to me for a built motor but I have read similar figures about other motors also. On the dyno, my 302 cubic inch motor with just 9.9 compression, but running 2x4 holley's made four hundred horsepower. Doesn't seem right that a 427, with 125 cubic inches more than my engine made only an extra 83 horsepower.
