Excaliber what you say about Shelby is very true. I'm trying to remember what year the 427 Cobra came out was it '64 or '65? Anyway my point is this. He used the power train that had come out on the '64 Galaxy. Under the right conditions you could special order a 427 SO with 4 speed. I know because I knew a guy back home that had one. It was black with the aluminum bumpers and it looked mean just sitting still. So for the sake of economics it's easier to use what Ford already had sitting on the shelf. That's why later on he used the 428 engine because they were so much cheaper.
