I know this has been covered a few times, that there were 2 edelbrock
manifolds that were used for the LAT options, but something that caught my
eye last week when i was looking through the graham rood book "works tigers"
was the manifold listed and photographed for the SCCA eligible options for
the tiger.
If memory serves me the LAT options early on were developed by HSC and doane
spencer to get the race tiger up and going. It shows a photo of what looks
like the HSC vented and hooded bonnet, the halibrand wheels and 4 wheel disc
setup along with the custom large fuel tank in the boot. The manifold was
what caught my eye... it is the early style 4BBL with 4 raised ports for the
carb, but it was lettered "TIGER" like the early cobra intakes.
Now i know there are 3 aftermarket "TIGER" lettered manifolds, and
apparently none were LAT options, but its interesting that one of them is
the one in the photo for the SCCA documents. Also the halibrands look like
the ones shelby ran on his tiger and different to the HSC kidney bean ones,
is it possible that the mfg of the "COBRA" lettered manifolds was asked to
do the TIGER one for the shelby tiger?
