To add a little context to the history, the following quote from the Shelby American website:
"During the disappointing '68 season, the teams raced a special tunnel port 302. The heads were impressive but the engine was a problem. The Shelby team went through 30 Ford supplied engines during the 1968 racing season. Ford wouldn't let the Shelby team go back to the proven 289."
