Default How are your ShelbyFest preparations going?

For me it has been a matter of dealing with the consequential changes of the engine upgrade

One of the first issues to strike was the inability of the factory supplied radiator to cope with the new engine

Old radiator was sloped back quite a bit


New custom built radiator (brass) has been stood up


The other pressing matter has been that with the taller intake manifold the rock filter didn't fit anymore.

Big mental obstacle on the first cut but kept it small ...

Paint (and everything else) will have to be for next year
