The Shelby was more expensive
Jerry,
I think I may not have communicated it properly. They Shelby was $150 more - you dont need to match that. If I want the look, I can order them and have you install them. Shelby uses their own springs, I am a bit concerned about that. AFR has two articles on their website discussing the Ford Motorsports crate 392. One discusses the best cam and carburator cominations, and one discusses the springs tension inside the heads and how important it is to get it exactly right. Take a look at them and let me know what you think of both of the articles. They are saying the engine will but out 535hp with the right combination without getting valve float and a t a reasonable RPM.
Thanks,
Jim
