Shootout, GT vs. GT 350
|
The hottest small-block Ford available for 1966 was the 289-inch V8 found under the hood of Shelby Mustangs. It was based off the solid-lifter K-code 271-horsepower Hi Po engine, but bumped up at Shelby American with a "Cobra" camshaft, aluminum high-rise intake, 715-cfm Holley carburetor and Tri-Y headers. These 306 (gross) horsepower beasts also received a 61/2-quart aluminum oil pan with side kick outs, cooling fins and low restriction mufflers with side exhausts. To further improve appearance, the engines also got finned aluminum valve covers and chrome air filter lids. View Related Article
