HiPo cam vs. GT350 cam???

65shelby_old · April 14, 2010 at 8:08 AM

Can anyone shed some light on a question that was presented to me?

I was under the impression that CS replaced the stock HiPO cams with the hotter Lemans cams in all '65-'66 GT350's. Presuming the Lemans cams had a little more lift and more of an idle lope.

One of my mustang buddies said that all the GT350's used the stock HiPo cam from FORD, and sent me the link to this MM article as proof.

This article been discussed here before for different reasons I believe:

Anyways, some of you Shelby guru's more versed than me please chime in to help me set the record straight.

Thanks!

GT350 Street cars used the HiPo cam while the Race models

got another cam.

Even when SAI added 48 IDM1 Weber down-draft carburetors to Cobras in 1963 the race engines still used the stock HP289 cam.
