1964 Original Shelby Cobra

[WGAF]

I think I might've heard something along the lines of, "Stanz, SiteClown, CharvelDan, honey, suck and blow harder, you bitch!"

Can't be 100% sure 'though 'cause the ground was shakin' with the combined noise of a 427 Chev and the Hoover action...

BTW: A 427 is a ford cobra jet motor.

No, the only Cobra Jet is a 428, created by putting high riser 427 heads and intake manifold on the 428 FE bottom end.

"Some Cobra 427s were actually fitted with Ford's 7-litre (428 cu in) engine, a long stroke, smaller bore, lower cost engine, intended for road use rather than racing."

"Others were powered by the "side oiler" Ford 7.0 L (427 cu in) FE engine equipped with a single 4-barrel 780 CFM Holley carburetor rated at 317 kW (425 hp; 431 PS) at 6000 rpm and 651 N⋅m (480 lb⋅ft) at 3700 rpm of torque,[12] which provided a top speed of 264 km/h (164 mph) in the standard model.

Nope there is a 429 Cobra Jet and if I recall, the heads were actually hemispherical.

You Mopar idiot!

 

[psychodave]

No, Shelby's came with 289s or 427s, that's it.

Does it really matter, it was a ford.

While I am partial to Mopar, Ford Muscle rocks!

Mopar= mostly old parts and rust.
Ford= fucked on race day.

I could've sworn it sounded like a Chev.

Maybe you were in London & you heard a CHAV & not a Chev?

That's a BOSS 429 with the hemi heads, the only Cobra Jet is a 428.

Which was AFTER the demise of the AC Cobra.

Correct on the Boss 429 - wrong on the Cobra Jet declaration. 429's came in both Cobra Jet and Super Cobra Jet versions. My first car was a '71 Torino GT, 429SCJ, 4-speed, Drag Pack with a 9" N-case rear. The fifth character of the VIN was "J", which meant Cobra Jet - SCJ's had no special VIN identification, but came fitted with a solid-lifter cam and other niceties. Mine also had the shaker hood scoop and was one of only 305 built with that combination of features, according to the Marti report. Wish I still had it...
