"On the heels of his stunning successes with the AC Cobra and the GT 350 Mustang projects, Carroll Shelby found himself in need of a bigger powerplant for the cars he was building. All the other U.S. manufacturers were now installing huge, powerful engines in their "muscle" cars and if his Mustangs were to remain competitive, big-block engines would be necessary. His final decision went to the 428 cubic inch engine from Ford and that meant heavier suspension and drivetrain components to mate with the big V8. The final car was exactly 500 pounds heavier than the GT 350 and the ever-pragmatic Shelby figured that was enough reason for the name - GT500."
