Factory experimental

The Cobra Jet engine is built at the same place as the Shelby engine but built to DIFFERENT specs. They are both 330 cu. in., the CJ at 425 hp and Shelby at 500 hp. No different than the 454/325 like in Grossi’s GT/AA car and the 454/425 in Stinnett’s car.
Most of the guys on this forum have never and will never run in a class with or against one of these Mustangs so this thread resembles the fuel injected cars in stock discussion on classracer a few years ago.
For the first time in decades Ford has become involved in NHRA Sportsmen competition. I think Brian Wolfe and the good folks at Ford Racing should be commended for their efforts. Why don’t we see how this plays out before the internet crowd tries to crucify it.
