There hasn't been a 64 Thunderbolt automatic car make a pass during a national event since probably 1966. According to the latest (today) classification guide they (NHRA) must have intended to specifically hit just the T-bolts using the "Dove" aluminum heads and even then only the manual transmission cars. The iron head manual combination was not hit and the automatics with "Dove" heads or iron heads were not affected. Maybe Ford is paving the way for the CJ Mustang "Super Stock" 2010 version especially since the "display" car had SS/BA painted on it's windows at the press introduction.
