Early Mustangs were available from the factory with FE Big Blocks in them. Something about CJ (Cobrajet) and SCJ ( Super ...) comes to mind. This is all hazy but I think the first Shelby's were supercharged 289's but eventually all of them had the FE. FE's come in 352/360/390/428/ and 427 variations but I don't think any Shelby had smaller than a 390.

There are guys putting the later Lima series 400/429/460 Big Blocks in Mustangs too but you hear a lot of discussion about what the longest lasting spark plugs are.
