67 Shelby N/SA

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

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

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"

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

mtkawboy · 08-15-2008, 09:44 PM

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

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.

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