Hi - good morning

I have pull my 67gt500 engine out to change crankshaft bearings.

We did a compression test to see if any work was required further up.
The result attached, between 175 and 210.
Does this look ok or is work required?

Any input is much appreciated.

Best regards
Jakob

Good day all

Greetings from sunny Greece from #1739 GT500

The car is fully restored - BUT with sub-standard side mirrors and gas cap.
Can any of you guide me where to buy "best option replica" or NOS?

Also, the car has FALKEN tires with Goodyear stickers, I will also appreciate if you can guide me where to buy a proper set (tires was born with small letters)

Many thanks a bunch in advance

Best regards
Jakob

Good day all...

#1739 67 GT500

You have been very helpful in guiding me in the right direction, as to why my car was smelling/stinking of gasoline.
I figured out that the vacuum lines were not connected (thanks Freddy), and presume it is a large part of the problem.

The carburetors are Cobranda replica's, and I have the original ones, which will got for a full overhaul.

In the photo "fuel adjustment", its obvious that the tube is not connected (not there), and the connectors are plugged with rubber ends.
In photo "side rear" and "side front", there are the same connectors, also plugged. Can anybody guide if they have to be connected together or somewhere else?
In the photo "net" is a random photo I found online, where a tube is connected.

Finally, does anybody know if there is a manual online (or tread) how to adjust the carburetors. I have searched a lot, but havent found anything.  I understand it has to be done under the 4 screws, photo "fuel adjustment" (again thanks Freddy) :-)

I live in Greece, and we have 1 x 65 GT350 and 2 x 67 GT500, so you can imagine the difficulties in finding specialists ;-)

Again, all assistance is really appreciated.

Hi Shelby'ers
#1739 GT500 1967 here.
I have a beautiful fully restored car.
I bought two new carburetors from our friend Freddy
I live anyhow in a large apartment block, and the entire garage is smelling badly of gasoline when I fire it up.
Although not original, does anybody have experience with an EFI system, and do I need 1 or 2?
If 1, do I have to change manifold, or can I blind one of the intakes?
All input much appeeciated ✨️👌

Hi all

GT500 #1739 almost ready to hit the road after restoration.

The car is drowning in gasoline, and my mechanic has tried several options without any luck.
I have cold started it a few times, but dont dare to drive it until the problem is solved.
The carburetors were cleaned and got new gaskets installed.

I consider to replace the carburetors with more modern ones.
Can anybody guide me what is the best option, which still will fit under the original air filter?

Many thanks

Best regards
Jakob

Good day Shelby'ers

GT500 #1739 sending greetings from Greece

I had an issue with a few valve seats, and got them repaired.
On one cylinder it was both valves which had issues.
The repair shop said I could face issues, as one valve is hot and the other cold, and it could create tension.
What is your point of view?

I may look for a spare head, just in case I have issues.
one head is made Dec 12/66 - the other Dec 13/66 and the block Dec 14/66

Many thanks in advance for your assistance

Happy new year

I am restoring a 1967 GT500 # 1739.
I am looking for original valve covers, or possible reproduction as close as possible to the original.

Anybody have a set for sale?
