The introduction of new performance components, specifications, and installation tolerances contained herein are written for experienced per- sonnel and not intended as a step-by-step instruction guide, All parts contained in this booklet may be obtained from: Shelby- American 6501 West Imperial Hwy. Los Angeles, California 90009 Attention: ‘Mr. Lew Spencer Competition Sales ManagerSince the development of Ford's 289 cubic- inch V-8 engine in 1963, it has become one of the most popular compelition engines to enter the world of racing. ‘There are three versions of Ford's basic 289 cubic-inch engine —the 200 horse- power, the 225 horsepower and the 271 horsepower. The 271 horsepower version differs from the lower two economy engines by having beefier rods, hotter cam, special four-barrel carburetor, solid lifters, high dificiency exhaust headers, e'c. ‘This engine is used as the basic power for the Shelby Mustang GT-350, Ford GT-40 and many other race cars. ‘The new racing engine components men- "289 CUBIC-INCH V-8 ENGIN E tioned on the following pages are designed to update the 271 horsepower version of the 289 cubic-inch engine. ‘The 8-cylinder high-performance 289 CID engine puts out 0.95 horsepower per cubic- inch, and weighs only two pounds per horsepower. The bore is an even four inches and the stroke is 2.87. The very high bore- to- stroke ratio provides other advantages which indude a low piston speed, reduced frictional losses, and the use of large over- head valves (9 promote good breathing characteristics. ‘The torque peak is 812 Ibs. ft at $400 rpm. Compression ratio is 10.5:1, and the engine is fed by a four- venturi carburetor.‘The kit includes 289 sedan ex- haust headers which are spe- dally tuned to provide maxi- mum efficiency and reduce back pressure, PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT Provides increased horsepower and imparts improved perfor- mance at high rpm levels, Part Number $1MR-9428-B SPECIAL CAMSHAFT KIT ‘This kit includes camshaft and 16 push rods to be used with the regular production high- performance tappets of your 271 horsepower engine. For de- talls see the parts list on page 6. PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT Camshaft provides superior breathing due to increased cain duration revised timing and higher valve toss speed. In- creases output up to 6800 rpm with a toss speed of approxi- mately 7500 rpm when used in conjunction with the Part No, C7MR-6045-A, cylinder head kit. This camshaft kit is espe- cially suited for road racing. Part Number S7MR-6250-ASPECIAL CYLINDER HEAD KIT , The kit includes fully modified 289 CID cylinder heads for sedan rac- ing needs; larger 1.875" intake and 1.625" exhaust valves. Springs, retainers, teflon valve stem seals, etc, are furnished. Cylinder heads should be used with’ the specified steel head gaskets shown in parts Ust on page 6. PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT Output increases when used In con- junction with high - performance camshaft and induction system. ‘This power increase is accom- plished through improved porting, revised combustion chamber and increased valve size. Part Number S7MR-6049-A CYLINDER HEAD ASSEMBLY KIT fort erSPECIAL INDUCTION KIT This kit contains two 4-venturi carburetors on a cast-aluminum. high- riser manifold. Also in- cluded is an air cleaner assem- bly, progressive linkage and gaskets. For details see the parts list on page 6. PERFORMANCE \ UAPROVEMENT Increases output at maximum. e rpm; progressive linkage af- Jon fords smooth operation ve INDUCTION KIT throughout the entire rpm range. Large ports and long runners plus half-moon floats create excellent results for road racing. Part Number C6ZZ-6B068-A f) SPECIAL ! PISTON KIT PISTON & ROD ASSEMBLY KIT Kit includes eight racing pistons, eight piston pins, eight connecting rods, rings and bearings. This kit should be used with the cylinder head kit CIMR-6049-A. For details see parts list on page 6. Use C50B-6211-H or J or C6FE-6211-A connecting rod bearings in conjunction with the above Piston and Rod Assembly Kit. Choose bearings to insure proper selective fit. Present high-performance crankshaft must be rebalanced with a 760 gram bobweight when using this kit PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT Fach piston is fabricated from extruded aluminum and cam ground. Con- necting rods are fatigue tested at 7000 rpm. ‘These pistons when used with the heads shown on page 4 (which have larger combustion chambers than the 289 high-performance engine) provide a compression ratio of 10.5:1.
