Why is requiring the only style of transmission a certain combination was available with "A Bummer"? I like that NHRA tries to at least keep some things legit. Not sure about 83, but you COULD get a 84 or 85 Mustang 5.0 engine with an automatic, but only with the CFI throttle body EFI version. All the carbed 82 thru 85 5.0 HO Mustang and Capri models were manual transmission only.
