FWIW, my copy of Bil Carroll's Fooorrd Performance Guide lists the specs of perhaps half a dozen of the different Shelby 427 engines, some with horsepower numbers over 500. Aluminum heads, compression ratios, all were different. I can scan and post those pages for you this evening, if you would like.
