They Engine Chosen was the New Windsor 221 cubic inch (3.6 litre) V8, However by the time the vehicles went into Production they were Fitted with the Larger Windsor 289 cubic inch Engine. AC Supplied Complete, Painted and Trimmed Rolling bodies to Shelby, who Then Fitted the Engine and Transmissions.

In 1986 the Hurlock Family Sold AC Cars to Brian Angliss which gave him the Full Trademark Rights to the AC Marque. This Sale Agreement was Only made Possible because Angliss met the Very High Production Quality Standards Required by Derek Hurlock Before he would Allow the AC Name to be Used.
