I wonder what intakes those cars ran in SS/E & SS/F.
I had a couple street cars in the mid-1970s, the hottest setup I knew of back then was the factory iron 429SCJ intake. Heavy, but a good design. That gave other engines (428CJ etc) quite an edge though as they had dozens of intakes to pick from.

See picture:
This is the Drag News results from SS at the 1971 Indy nationals.
It shows Shellenberger as R/U in SS/E, sure enough.
Keying this into my file, I just figured, it must be a flat hood Fairlane 427 as that's the only Ford that meets that class. But sure enough it says MUSTANG right there! Is this the same 429SCJ Mustang?
