THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE SHELBY G.T. 350 AND THE MUSTANG ...
plenty !
1
The cast aluminum high-rise manifold
increases the engine's ability to breathe at high
speeds and extends its useful power range.
Matched to the manifold is a Holley
low-restriction four-barrel carburetor with
center pivot floats which prevent flodding or
fuel starvation under the most severe driving
conditions. 2 Custom
aluminum Cobra rocker covers have excellent sound
deadening qualities. 3 The Cobra
cast and finned oil pan increases oil capacity,
aids cooling and prevents oil surge during hard
cornering, acceleration or braking. 4 The Borg
Warner special Sebring close ratio four speed
transmission is fully synchronized. 5 The
breathing ability of the engine is improved
furthur by the use of hand made steel tube
exhaust headers and low restriction;
straight-through mufflers. 6 Inner
pivots of the front wheel upper control arms are
moved down one inch improving cornering power and
bite. 7 Full one
inch diameter anti-roll bar furthur increases
roll stiffness and cornering ability. 8 Monte
Carlo reinforcing bar plus extra heavy
reinforcing yoke add body stability and strength
under severe driving conditions. 9 A pair of
torque reaction arms are added to take the burden
of acceleration and braking forces and allow the
springs to handle the weight of the car
effectively. 10 At the
front, Kelsey Hayes disc brakes are added with
ventilated discs and special full competition
pads. At the rear, the G.T. 350 has 10"
drums with metallic linings. This combination is
practically fade-free. Special wheels are mounted
with 130 mph-rated Goodyear low profile high
performance tires. 11 Heavy duty
shock absorbers are adjustable. 12 Overall
steering ratio is reduced from 21:1 to 19:1. 13
Competition-type locking studs and safety pins
eliminate danger of the hood ever flying open at
high speeds.
