SAAC-48 / Popular Ballot Car Show details
« on: May 22, 2023, 07:53:44 AM »
While I am not running this part of the event any more, I am helping in the set-up and orchestration of the show as part of the transition to the new show chairmen. Team Shelby will be this year's show chairmen, as they are a co-host of this convention.

The show will be very similar to the show run at Pitt the last time four years ago. The specific awards will be posted shortly, but here is the general set-up:

Participants vote on a top 20 (or 25) popular winners, independent of any class the car is in. Just your favorites. The traditional one ticket per car's voting envelope on the windshield, and each person gets a unique numbered ticket sheet, so no duplicates in any envelope will be counted.

A judging committee will also walk the field, and select a "Best" from a class list of roughly 25 classes, including specific classic and modern Shelby Mustangs, CSX Cobras, all matter of Mustangs, plus the assorted special classes. If a car wins this award, and also gets voted, a "TOP 20", the Top 20 will be removed and given to the next available highest vote getter. One award per car.

There will also be 4 special VIP awards picked by event VIP's, plus a "Best in Show" for the highest vote getter.

Parking will be divided into quarters, with trying to keep it divided into classic Shelby, Modern Shelby, All Mustangs, All other. But, if your group is mixed, you can park together. We're just trying to allow festival parking, but keep it grouped as best we can. Makes it more fun when youcan park and hang out with friends, and the show committee is not going ape-sh*t trying to park by classes. More fun for all.

Now, where the show will be at the track I have no clue, so the bosses will tell all of us that.

Get there early, shine it up, come to the registration table to get your credentials, and enjoy the show!

John,

Happy to Provide!!! I too was very wary and unsure when it comes to cam selection. So many choices, manufacturers, and more. Choose the wrong one, it's big work to change.

I made this chart by taking the last cam I had and worked well, and looking at many others in the same range, and built this spread sheet, listed each cam, averaged each column, and then chose one that was closest to the results, and erred on the conservative side.

Also agreed, this exact thread, asking for personal experience is the best way!!

(You could always buy a nice set of Edelbrock alum heads, paint them blue......)

When building my 331 for my FFR, I put this together. The cams here may be a bit on the healthier side. My motor is based on a 1970 302 block, SCAT crank kit, 10.6:1 compression, has the AFR 185 heads and the open plenum Intake, so it's a step up from a K-style build. My Horsepower is around 450.

Look at a roller cam, and use the hydraulic link-bar roller lifters.

Attached is a spreadsheet I made up when selecting my cam. I chose the Howards cam (in yellow), very happy with it, the car has a great idle, and kills inside the  power band.

Turbo-style mufflers have always been the "go To" muffler design. I had them on both the 68 302 and the 69 428 SCJ. Great tone, quiet until you hit it hard, and then still good.

I was about to mention the set-up used!!! Agreed, 8mm cut to length. I also converted to an under-cap electronic, and a good coil. I used the MSD Blaster II, painted it black, and put on the Ford decal. Just note to top is the wrong color.
