One of my cars was as early, it had one that said "Shelby". The motor had
never been out of the car and had sat tince 1977. It was likely dealer
installed at a later time, when the recall replacement was done. As you
say, the Cobra intake is correct, S7MS. Just noting that not all cars got
the correct thing at the time...

all the best,

Dan
