All the carbed 82 thru 85 5.0 HO Mustang and Capri models were manual transmission only.
Only because that will prevent him from being able to convert the car to a Stocker. And with so many other stupid pointless rules in Stock Eliminator what would it hurt? Did these engines ever come with roller rocker arms? How about Edelbrock aluminum heads?
