Pretty much the same as today..without all the choices. Mondello/Airesearch did head work ,Shelby and others supplied intakes/cams/headers. It was a little more experimenting than now, but engine builders ARE engine builders and factory offerings aren't usually an obstacle.
I only suppied a few names but there were many at the time, just get an old Hot Rod, Car Craft, C&D,R&T, R&C and peruse the ads to see the multitude of offerings. Many have been bought up or ceased to exist. Many were WWII military that returned to persue their dreams. There were a few manufacturers that produced for others because they had foundries that the smaller companies didn't. The early "Cobra" products, as well as others, fell into that category.
