The Super Snake packs a race-inspired, big-block 7.0-litre V8 from Carroll Shelby Engine Co., available in both aluminium and cast-iron blocks. This car makes 30hp more than the original at 550hp. The engine is mated to a four-speed manual transmission just like the original. The new continuation car will be built from original donor 1967 Mustangs and get a Shelby serial number for the official Shelby registry. The cars will be stripped down to bare metal before undergoing the makeover.
