Some History Here

Shelby originally wanted British Motors to sell him Austin Healey 100 bodys so
he could install Chevy small block 350ci engines. This went no where. B M would
not sell him the AH 100 bodys and GM would not sell him the Chevy small block
engines since it would be competitive with their Corvettes. So he went with
British AC bodys and small block Fords, so the story goes.
