67 Shelby N/SA
 

I see Bob Swan is at Acton race with his Shelby in N/SA.
Must have a gotten a new letter from Carroll.

Re: 67 Shelby N/SA
 

thats the 2x4 motor that came with only 4 spark plug wires, there were 150 of them built. But the superceded plug wire set came with 8 wires, so you are allowed to use them

Re: 67 Shelby N/SA
 

Please explain....I am curious to know more about the pieces on this car that put it in the same "paper" category as the big block car? Should be a simple enough formula - 289, single 4v Holley, C4.

Re: 67 Shelby N/SA
 

Odd. The lowest class possible in the Class guide for a 67 Shelby is D. Maybe its an 87 Shelby; those fit N.

Re: 67 Shelby N/SA
 

Not his Shelby, about an '80-82 Mustang, 302 4V. His wife's car.

That would be a different sort of paper car - those years were 2V carbs.

Re: 67 Shelby N/SA
 

Okay, so it's an '83 factored at 208 HP.

Actually its a black 85 302 4 barrel HO with an automatic in N/SA, I just left there

Re: 67 Shelby N/SA
 

Are you sure that it`s a 4 barrel? I run this combo, and the 4 barrel engine was only available with a stickshift, an automatic came with a "CFI" throttle body fuel injection setup. All the 82 (2V) and 83-85 4V cars were "stick" only. A 86 Mustang looks identical to an 85, other than the 3rd brake light, 86-93 Mustang 5.0`s were all EFI by then, and were available with stick or auto.

Well its possable, there was a rag over where the carb is. What caught my eye when I was walking by was the turbo emblems on it so I walked over to check it out. The window sticker had 302, the weight and 208 hp on it. I just assumed it was a 4 barrel. I cant tell one year from another on those Mustangs

There was a rag over the carb or whatever so I guess its possable. What caught my eye walking by was the turbo emblems on it. I walked over to check it out and it was a 302. The sticker on the side window said 302, the weight and 208 hp. I cant tell one year from another on them but it had the painted louvers on the rear side window. There was no turbo. There were no Shelbys there either

Re: 67 Shelby N/SA
 

I certainly hope it's not a 4 barrel, auto 85 car. I played with NHRA for a year on building such a car for stock and was told "no", that combo was never made by Ford. "CFI or stick, your choice"

Re: 67 Shelby N/SA
 

I thought that allowed you to put an auto in if it was a stick only combo and vice-versa. Like the 302 Camaros.

Re: 67 Shelby N/SA
 

I looked thru the guide and theres no other combo rated at 208hp and thats what was on the window sticker. I know its a stick only combo, my buddy Bill Dyer runs one in N/S. Id guess the tech guys here didnt catch it or its allowed now. Im just telling you what I saw. I never gave it a thought at the time, the car wasnt that strong anyway

Re: 67 Shelby N/SA
 

And when did NHRA ever say that you could put an automatic behind a 302 Z28?? I`ve certainly never seen one. Also, a friend used to run a smogger 460 in a SS/GT Mustang, and NHRA told him he could not put a 4 speed in his car as that 460 was not available with a 4 speed.

Re: 67 Shelby N/SA
 

This is beginning to look like an IHRA tech-in.

Re: 67 Shelby N/SA
 

Rory, I think he met 402 in a 70 Camaro not 302 Z-28, Tom

Re: 67 Shelby N/SA
 

Auto in a Stick only combo....that's just crazy talk LOL.
