released the 289 High Performance engine which produced 271 BHP @ 6000
RPM. Stronger connecting rods with 3/8" bolts, thicker main bearing
caps, solid lifter cam, screw-in rocker arm studs, machined valve spring
seats, forged steel exhaust valves, a dual point mechanical advance
distributor, and better flowing exhaust manifolds rounded out the
package. The engines used in the 1965-67 Shelby GT 350 Mustangs, rated
at 306 HP, featured a high rise aluminum Cobra intake manifold and Tri-Y
headers. |
