Coralsnake Updates

[Coralsnake]

Welcome to 2025

Stop by theCoralsnake.com if you get a chance. Hit refresh if you don't see the new January 2025 dates.

I just posted a new dealer article and started a 1969 428 Engine page. I also found some interesting information on 1968 Shelbys. Thanks to all that contributed, including Mr Liska and Dave Mathews.

The website is celebrating 25 years of providing free information for everyone. It is a no nonsense site with articles written by the most knowledgeable people in the hobby.

The reason the Shelby mystique continues to exist is because of dedicated people like Coral Snake. People like him are why we know so much about the cars and the truth behind their designs, development, manufacturing and sales. I consider a great privilege to have access to what they do.
Thanks to those who share

Great work pete and i see the 69 shelbys are starting to get a little love on the coralsnake site. So u thinking the difference between 420 s vs 420 t engine code is the air cleaner change using the orange hose bleeder valve on choke as the air cleaner i would think was installed on the assembly line but the  automatic choke orange hose with T metal tube would have been installed at the engine plant and that would make a change in the engine code from s to t. Also u said  in your photo the c9ze-e fan didnt use a clutch but i think u meant the  scj c90e-h fan didnt use a clutch. The 69 water pump pulley and belts are always a problem figuring out without a build sheet since 3 pulleys were used on the 69 cj/scj. Even thou the march -july 69 scj build sheets call out the c9ze-e clutch fan changeover i have never documented it and only seen c90e-h fans on 69  v and w code scjs. I tried to document the fan change over on the 428 cj site years ago but had problems figueing it out since most scj cars were raced and molested back in the 70s so does anybody have a late 69 gt500 scj with the c9ze-e clutch fan that came on the car from factory?  thanks

I really appreciate all the contributions. The moderator has graciously spun off the manifold discussions.

The feedback is what keeps the the website going. I strive to get the most accurate information. I just changed some things on the 1969 GT350 page to clarify how cars were built.

If you see anything you have questions about, you know what to do.....(drop me a note)
