what is the length of hose needed to properly route hoses and install power steering cooler?

Well Yesterday, we Dyno'd the 289 hipo engine for our restoration of GT350 #1341. 

Engine built by Carlquist Competition Engines in CT. 

Dyno set up
37° total advance, 1.75 BBK headers, .016 lash

292hp @ 5500rpm (ran out to 6000rpm, 291.7hp)
302 ft•lbs @ 4400rpm


Specs
Engine Balanced
Cam: Stock Ford hipo
Stock C7 hipo heads no porting, still have bump in exhaust ports unique to C7 for thermactor provisions.
Heads fitted with 1.50,1.84 valves did this as hardened seats were installed.
Bore .030
Intake: Orig Shelby S7MS 9424A, port matched to heads.
Carb: Orig Shelby 3259 715cfm
Distributor: orig FoMoCo dual point.
Carlquist modified the slot in mechanical advance plate. Welds it up and machines to .380. This allows for 18° init and 36-37° total timing.

Guys on the Tiger forums may want the 5 bolt

I have the 225/60/15 Avons with no clearance issues.  My car (23) does not have the drop but I believe that there would still not be a clearance issue.

Thank you for info.  When searching I saw your prior posts of when you got your Avons and had your magstars restored.  Your Shelby looks great!

Thank you Roy,  I did see another forum member post about having 225/60-15 Avons with no clearance issues, however he did not have the 1" dropped A arms.

I am getting ready to make a tire purchase.  I specifically would like to know for those running AVONs with a 1" Shelby drop on their car, what size tire do you run and did you have any clearance/rubbing issues to work out?


Thanks
Carl

Was the design requirement of the 289 hipo hatchet counterweight being incorporated to the hipo engine to avoid hitting this dynamic system's natural frequency harmonic within a normal operating rpm range?

What size lettering on Goodyear E70x15 . Would the larger lettering be correct on a early 67 gt350
no.159. The smaller letter tires can not be found.

The small letter tire can be found if you know where to look. In case of car 159 however the large letter tire is what came on it when first built.

When was the cut over from large to small letter tires?  Ready to purchase tires for #1341 2/28/2021 build date.  If small letter are there reproductions available?

Seeing as how your car is only 7 months old you sure burned up your tires fast 😛
