    1987 csx specific information

    Is there a place to look for some of the details of the Shelby built cars? I'm talking tire size, strut, shock spring configuration, decal placement, engine specs, exhaust,

    Anything that set them apart from the production dodge models.

    That doesn't list original tire size, plenty of rim dimensions and part numbers. Anyone still have a legible tire sticker in their door? Mine is just a little worn.

    Also, doesn't show exhaust pipe diameter, so I'll assume stock 2 1/4" downpipe as found on turbo 1's and nothing special after that.

    I found slider turbo cam, and nothing too unexpected in the top end.

    Also, the springs and shocks/struts must just be valved differently, maybe a little stiffer. Miles, thanks for the link!!

    You may also want to check this out too. http://www.shelbyregistry.com/1987csxupl.html It's all the unique part numbers that is 87 CSX specific. A copy of the 87 CSX owners manual is on there too. It shows the tire size.

    There is a particular site that has much info on all the Shelby vehicles. Shelby-Dodge.com is the place. Numbered cars (also called Limited Editions) in their menu is the topic.

    Tires are not covered very well here either though. The main reason is because they were nothing special, though the rims were (as most of these cars came with Shelby rims).

    Re: 1987 csx specific information

    The only reason I'm asking about tires is that I need 2 tires. The front tires are 195-50r15 and worn out, the rear are 205-50r15. I wanted them to match, so I'll go with 205-50r15, just curious what was correct.

    205-50VR15 Goodyear VR50 (Skaterbacks) was the OEM fitment on the 87 CSXs.
