Default 1970 Shelby GT-350 with a FI 5.0?

I know this is not real but the plain Jane 5.0 FI engine just does not look right to me.

When I saw the motor I was like "ohhhh, that's lame"

Doesnt flow with any of the rest of the car.

I like it. First thing I'd do is yank that 5.0 out.....

Some flaws in the paint job. The seams in the rear quarters and trunk are filled with bondo and looks to have something going on along the rear right seam
5.0 motor is a definite let down. Can't say I pay what there're asking for it.

There's a guy near me with tons of rare Mustangs (real Boss 302's, at least one real Boss 429, etc) who has a 70 Shelby GT 350 vert clone that looks better than that one. The only thing missing on the one near me is a Shelby VIN plate under the hood. Sorry I don't have any pictures of it.

You ever tried to put a 5.0 EFI in one of these cars? About your only option is the stock intake.
