In 1967, Carroll Shelby shoehorned his first big-block engine into a Ford Mustang. By 1968 he was already hungry for more power. Midway through the model year, in the spring of 1968, Ford answered his desires with an upgrade to the current 428 Police Interceptor, the 428 cubic-inch Cobra Jet engine. Reportedly, when Shelby heard Chevrolet was planning a new muscle car called the “King of the Road,” he instructed his lawyers to swoop in and copyright the name. Although the new 428 Cobra Jet was rated for insurance reasons at a ludicrous 335 horsepower—25 less than the 428 Police Interceptor it was replacing—the Cobra Jet was a true powerhouse with 427 low-riser heads, Holley 735-CFM carburetion, a 390GT camshaft, and high-flow exhaust manifolds.
