67 Shelby N/SA - Page 2

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.

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.

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