The horsepower to weight figures given are a little misleading
since the 170 hp for the SVO is not measured the same as
the 300 hp for the Shelby.

I don't know why someone would have a 305 cu. in.
motor in a real GT 350, sounds like a .030 over 302.
The original 271 horse Hi pro 289 was fitted with a 
holley four barrel, aluminum hi rise, and tri Y headers
for and output of 306 hp at the flywheel.

A GT 350 without the original engine isn't worth squat,
and those hi pro 289's are a rare breed these days.

I wonder how the Mustang GT with the 5L HO engine
compares to the SVO??  Much more reliable I bet.

cheers,
