Should have done it red so it would look like the exp gt500 Shelby made it was a prototype coupe in 67 and he did one in 68.Here the 67 one http://www.legendarygt.com/67%20shel...0500%20css.htm its a clone tho real one got crushed years ago.The 68 is still around tho.

That's a sweet car. The customer wanted blue, so it's blue. Not my car I would have done it red like the original. But it should still turn out cool.

Heres the 68 Shelby coupe http://www.exp500.com/gallery.html if you need help finding parts or want some ideas to pass along to the owner let me know.

I didn't know the EXP coupe was fuel injected! I have a mustang coffee table book with some great pics of the car, but none with the air cleaner off.

[PCHRODS]

These were our options Boss 429 / Boss 302 / Tunnelport 427


This one is actually going in a 23 T bucket. If anyone has a good memory, think back to Popular Hotrodding March of 71 on the cover, This is the motor to that T bucket, and we have the T bucket too, doing a restoration on it to the way it was in 71

[andrewmp6]

Boss 429 ok I'm drooling now.The green hornet was fuel injection the little red was not.But the green hornet was the only Shelby mustang with a irs in it.

Ooh, I like the tunnel port. Do you have anymore info on the 302. I don't recognize those valve covers. I thought all Boss 302's had cleveland heads and valvecovers?

[PCHRODS]

It is an original 69' Boss 302. The valve covers are original Ford Girdled Valve Covers they attach to the actual rocker studs with 7/16" nuts. 302 Boss Motors use a "cleveland style" head, not an actual cleveland head. The boss head has a coolant crossover that goes through the intake and the cleveland head does not.

[andrewmp6]

Hes right a boss is a Windsor block the heads came out before there ever was a Cleveland engine.Ford did take the design of boss heads and put them on the Cleveland later on.Boss came out in 69 Cleveland didn't tell 70.
