bought a motor and think I got a box with shelby gt 350 parts

Can anyone please confirm or help with any info. I have searched the internet and keep getting different stuff.

First the intake is a high rise aluminum cobra intake. It looks like other pics I have come across where the location of Cobra is cast and the firing order looks to be close together and not spaced out like I have read some repop ones are. Casting S1MS 9424A. The bottom is stamped Deco AWL JN. Is this a 65 Shelby GT 350 intake?

Next the carb. He said "there is a carb they ran in the Shelby burried in the crate".
I found a paxton blower box with what I think is a Shelby 715 cfm Holley carb ( S2MS-9510-A / List-3259-1 / 612 ) Did they all have the lemans bowls? Maybe he took them off to use on the blower? I bought the blower as well, looks to be mid 60's, kind of cool! Could this carb have come with this intake?

Last the block. He said it was a hi po block. It has stock bore and it has the casting numbers C80E-6015A and 302 stamped in the valley. The main caps are stamped C30-E. I know its a long shot but could this be a 68 Shelby block?

It was a nice older guy who sold this stuff to me and said he had a lot of money into it and it is just in the way and he has other hobbys now. The block has a stroker crank, forged alum. pistons and has been sitting ove 10 yrs and was never even fired with the new pistons. I also got 351w heads ported, screw in studs, bigger valves bla bla and the are still oiled in the bag from the shop and were never run. He sold me everything with all the supercharger stuff for $700 so I am pretty sure he was not tryink to scam me with bogus parts or trying to pass of things as something they were not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was just looking for a sbf for my 28 model a pickup. These parts might be better off going to someones restoration instead of my pickup truck! Thanks for any help! pugh433

 

I will get some pics posted up as soon as I get a chance.

Jay, I looked for the Hecho in Mexico and it's not in the valley. I looked for numbers stamped above where the z bar mounts but found S and D one above the other. Not sure what that means? Here is a link I tound that clamis to be a 68 Shelby 302 that looks the same as mine I believe. ( I know you can't believe everything you read on the internet)

Ok, I talked to the guy who I bought the motor from today. He assured me that it was a hi po block and it was off a Fairlane. He bought the motor from an engineer that worked at the ford Dearborn plant that was a into drag racing. He also has the 4 11 (8in I think form a fairlane?) gear with locker that he offered to me for $250. Should I jump on that? I could prob get it for $200. He also said that the guys who did the motor were big into the Fairlane stuff and that the guys had a Fairlane that was a record holder at Milan drag in MI and they really knew their stuff. The block is at my dads, I will measure rod bolts tomorrow.

Now for the paxton. I have been taking pics with my phone sending them to my email and loading them to my photobucket. Something is not working right and only received one pic. I will post the rest later. The supercharger is black with a red paxton lable. The pulley says Studebaker and have 156258 on it and the brackets are cast and say mustang. Looks like there is a Thunderbird logo on the tag and stamped on the supercharger body. The number on the supercharger is 1558476. Here is the only pic I got. I think studebaker owned paxton for a short time if not mistaken?

I am in the process of having the carb rebuilt that I got and want to know if it makes a big difference if I buy the repop holley lemans bowls or if I should try to buy the older ones. I would guess the body of the carb is the main concern but want to rebuild it the best way that makes sence. Thanks, pugh433

 

The block is cast 8k9 ( november 9th 1968) I found that link I shared ( http://www.mustangtek.com/block/C8OE-6015-A.html) then saw this on the hi po forum and is what made me think that

It is possible for the C8OE-6015-A block to be used as a late 1967 289 HiPo. I personally have not see one, but with only 489 1967 Mustang HiPos, it might a while before we hear from a late 1967 Mustang HiPo owner to verify the possibility -- or I might say, the probability. The C8OE-A block was a 302 block. It was essentially identical to the 289 C5AE-6015-E block except the cylinder sleeve castings were slightly longer. Ford allowed the C5AE-E block to deplete in late 1967 production and phased in the C8OE-A block in its place. When 1968 production began, the C8OE-A block was used for 302 production. It is during this brief time in late 1967 production that some 289 HiPos might have used this block. Perhaps within this forum we might hear from someone that can verify such a case.

I have no idea what the hell I have.

 

This is totally going to sound greedy and probably selfish but I was thinking I would be able to make a little more selling the correct year carb together with the correct year intake. If I find that it really won't be in my best interest to do this I will concider swapping you. Unfortunately with my current employment status I feel substancially underpaid and am dropping every dime into the best parts that I can get for my truck. I was very lucky to find the stuff I did and am just trying to help fund my project.

TJinSA- I have been unable to come up with any solid info on this supercharger. I think my dad is going to run it on his 65 mustang but I'm no 100% sure on that.
