This subassembly came off a factory built 1965 GT350 race car, the pickup is out of shape from crash damage. Main bearing cap braces like this were used for years and a picture of one is included in the 1967 Group II engine manual. The brace used by SA in 1963 was slightly different but did the same thing. The very early Cobra engine XHP-260-4 (engine serial number four in the experimental high performance 260 c.i.d. series) had a 1962 specific pickup gusseted in this manner. Early pumps used stock pickup bolts drilled for safety wire. This 1965 pump installation has drilled head aircraft bolts for the
oil pick up.
1963 Syle just as SA put it together.
Style used later just as SA put it together.
