that shelby series 1 has the same motor i do only its S/C =(

Damn i need more room in my engine bay

 

The Shelby Series 1 has a H.O. northstar last time I checked. The "base" models are nothing too crazy but still quick. The later models are a bit more fierce however.

 

shelby used the 4.0 northstar from the aurora's and not the 4.6 N* from caddy because caddy has no racing tie in's


According to the November 1998 Motor Trend, in an article titled "Shelby Series I", the reason is as follows:

"The structure of any car is its chassis, but its heart is its engine. So why choose the relatively small displacement 4.0 liter Aurora V-8? Carroll felt it was the highest technology domestic engine available, and it packages well in our engine bay, Rager responds.
Then why not use the similar in architecture but more powerful Cadillac Northstar? 'There's no racing tie-in with Cadillac', Rager responds. The Aurora has proven itself in the IRL, and we had a good relationship with
former Olds general manager John Rock when this program was being developed."

 

looks like a kit car to me
