    89 Prototype T-III Project

    In 1989 the T-III was a chosen direction for Shelby. Several iterations were built during this time and I happen own a few. The chosen prototype T-III has several unique features that make it different it from the later production versions that we all know. The engine has no balance shaft provisions, a distributor hole, but includes the T-III crank vent boss. I have gone through the engine and have now begun working with the exhaust manifold and turbo assembly that the engine will utilize. Please feel free to view my gallery as I have been posting photos to capture the projects progress.



    Enjoy!

    I have posted some more pictures of the block and head.
    As I learn more about how the forum works and how to use the tools, I will try to make it easier to connect to the photos, project progress, and details.

    Thanks for showing interest.

    TIII's forever,

    Feel free to share your tips and tricks too,

    Really small plenum on the intake.

    Wonder why they changed their mind on the turbo setup?

    That crank is unreal, wow,

    Ken, I have some factory prototype cam specs from Mr. Royce if you'd like to see them.

    BTW: I'm currently building a T-III, too
