Henry Ford died a long time ago, but my Mustang is still a Ford ;)
This is exactly the kind of response I thought I'd receive here. However, the point has been missed.

Henry Ford established mass production of motor cars and has been replicated by many industries all over the world. His factories built aircraft throughout WW2 and he was the first to establish a true production line.

Carroll Shelby built race cars from production cars and was a pioneer in this field, so good at it that Ford commissioned him on the GT40 project.

The car currently for sale in this thread is built in the UK by UK mechanics using bolt on parts bought from the USA. It is not a Shelby!!

It's like me going out and buying an AC Ace and bolting in a 427 and calling it a Shelby Cobra. It's not and never will be because it wasn't built by a company run by Carroll Shelby.

I've done the oil cooler mod. It's not a small task. Hardware is about £500 and its a day to fit it with Mike, so yes. You are looking at about a grand investment all in. Plus it's not easy for him as there are a couple of parts they don't send for it and he has to fabricate them. I did oil pump gears at the same time and eliminated the two weak points in the engine.
