67 Shelby Super Snake
Howdy from Texas!
I wished I would have found this site when I was building my car. It is almost done now.
She is called Medusa. So named because of all the trouble she has been. Logic being that the snake reared its ugly head, and yep, you got it, Medusa!
It is a 1967 Mustang Fastback (nothing special, just an old automatic 2 barrel 289 car), with a Shelby aluminum 427FE stroked to 482ci, using a Vortech T trim S/C (non intercooled), buckled to a TKO600, 3.25:1 trac lock, 31 spline axles, front & rear coilovers, Baer track/tour brakes, sitting on BFG G Force TA KD's 225/45/17 on 8"s, and 315/35/17's on 11"s.

427fe
Thanks!
I thought I would post several engine pictures. Keith Craft built it. Shelby aluminum 427FE stroked to 482ci. Engine dyno said 815hp 733tq. But chassis dyno said 575/573. Since then, the lifters and EFI have been fine tuned. I think it is closer to 625/650 now. I need to get it back to the dyno shop.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

You know your cars, but UP did not build it. I copied their $215K Super Snake, and then added a few things. Would be hard to tell them apart, except I expect perfection . I used a polished T trim S/C (instead of a unpolished S Trim), a radiator that does not overheat (polished), GPS, DVD, CD, HDD, Alarm, electric windows-trunk-door locks, etc. Originally Posted by TonyL

Where did you buy the UP parts? I looked on their site but didn't see any for sale, just cars.

Beautiful car. I just have always thought that hood looks rediculous.
