Also not sure just how different the engine spec are for the CJ/ Shelby but I don't think its alot in 08 anyway. Would still run 9.50's in AA @ 3920 I think

It would be one heck of a project to do even if it were legal. Think of all the "special" parts that are allowed on the race CJ what would NOT be allowed in the Shelby. It would be a lot easier and less costly to convert a legal street Mustang. Jim
