My point was more to the fact, the Ford serial number wasn't stamped into the
aluminum casing like the Top-Loaders. T-10's in Shelbys were installed at San Jose
so they could have done it. (reservation for the first 65s).
Personally, I believe Shelby went with aluminum T-10s to save weight.

Although slightly different the aluminum T10 was already in use for the Cobras so a logical choice for the GT350 too IMO.Weight was most likely a factor in both cases.
