Ol' Fart's Firebird Fantasy

I'm no expert on NHRA's rules by any means, but if it in fact only came with a manual trans, then I'm pretty certain you can only run it a s a manual. Otherwise, I would build a 1993 Ford Cobra, (came with manual only), with an automatic. Now whether or not the '79/400 Bird came with an automatic or not, I have no idea. But I do know I had a brand new '79 Bandit Edition in '79 that was an automatic, but it was a 403 Olds engine.
