Those look fantastic!

What engine have you dropped in there? Is it really a big block 427 or a punched out and stroked small block engine?

It's a built a 427ci Dart block Windsor. Check out the build thread for his tribute car...

John the valve covers look bad ass. Can't wait to see them in person.

I believe I saw this car at Austin Cars & Coffee a while back. Looks and sounds amazing!

Wow! I really admire what you have done here. My hat's off to you sir.

I guess Texas doesn't have any kind of state emissions BS? I don't think I could get away with that in MO. Well, as long as I don't put more than 6,000 miles a year on it I'm emissions exempt. That's what I do with my Cobra.

Certain parts of Texas have sniffer tests, but the part I live in doesn't.

Have you put that thing on a dyno yet? I would love to know how much power it is making.

This might be the coolest build I've ever seen on this site.

450 at the wheels (Mustang in-floor dyno).

What a gorgeous Shelby. Hats off to you for the awesome and unique build. You surely must get out of breath answering the tons of questions fielded at shows and such. :thumbsup:

It's not a real Shelby. It started out as a base V6/automatic. I call it a "Shelby Tribute".

At shows, most people ask why I did it. I think I'm gonna have to print up some info pamphlets.

Newest pic of car - it was prepped for the "Racecar" class at a recent show, and I was going for the vintage Trans-Am look (I placed 2nd behind a tubbed 57 Chevy with a 6/71 blower):
