Ford didn't just "give" the GT-40 project to Shelby. They came wiht their hat in their hand and practially begged him to "FIX" it.

As I understand the problem, Ford had made the car to complicated with all kinds of "plumbing" and "wiring" and stuff that "broke".

Shelby, being the master of simplicity and less is more, simply removed all the garbage and then Ford had a winning car!
