Has anyone tried the '82 Mustang GT 302/2bbl - stick combo ?

Or is it factored too high ?

Would be 2,682 lbs with driver in P/S

There were a couple in the NW with automatics that ran well, until the transmission deal was clamped down on.
Definitely NOT factored too high.
I've heard of a couple being built, but never saw them out there.
Those cars did a disappearing act , even around here. Believe me ..Been looking for 5 years.
One of the few carb-ed cars I'd build in this day and age.
I'd run R/Stock , for sentimental reasons..3000 lbs , not too heavy for a stick car.

I know everyone wants 1.20 under handed to them, but this is an easy 1.20 under car with a little effort.

How about the 1982 Mustang with the 6/200 ci combo?

All 61 to 63 F85's automatics came with a Roto 5 transmission, a smaller version of the transmission used in full sized Olds and some Pontiacs. The only PG's in those series of cars was in the Tempest, used a Corvair powerglide. Only the Tempest was IRS.

This is a GT but someone changed it to a auto, removed peddles and everything. Would have to dig up a lot of parts to switch it back

Well, save me the intake and carb anyway, if it's there.

I have a couple of 78-82 FOX body clutch pedal assemblies (pre quadrant, factory style cable is adjustable at the clutch fork end.) If you are interested.

Why?!? 135 HP with a 1bbl carb and an integral intake. 302 @157 HP has big 2bbl carb, big "marine" cam and aluminum intake AND 100 extra cubes. Give me the 302 and the extra 22 HP.
