Ron,

Neither Shelby (or SAAC), nor Ford kept such records, as all of the cars were supposedly sold with the 428CJ engines (GT500's obviously). Visually, you could not tell the difference, it is only when the internals were viewed (say after an original owner missed a shift and blew up the engine) that the truth came to light.....The 1997 World Registry I believe makes mention of this "mistake" in the production line, might want to look and makes copies out of one of them.
