I just met up with a Shelby GT-H owner who has both a GT-H convertible as well as a GT-H coupe.

He claims that the coupe has a 400HP 4.6 4V Cobra Terminator engine in it as original equipment. Can any of you experts confirm this or is he misinformed as I somewhat anticipate?

Thanks,

Mark.

Well, if he's not misinformed, this is the first I've ever heard of it.

Highly misinformed.
If it has a Cobra block, then ask where the original 3V is.

He's full of you know what. I can list a bunch of reasons to prove this but I'll go with the easiest.

Ask him why his vin number shows a 3v GT engine?

I want to see a pic of this dude's engine bay.

Then I want his phone # so I can trade him a rare Shelby Corolla for his GT-H.
This Shelby Corolla is an 8V fast & furious 900 HP monster, signed by Cleo Shelby's step-cousin Jimmy.
