When did this change anyway? I thought the transmission had to match the engine in GT?
Also , the particular engine had to be available in the product line that it's being transplanted into.
Not anymore. You can have say, a traditional Pontiac V8 in a Chevrolet, which never had one from the factory.
So, how about a 1963 Pontiac 389 with an AFB, 8.6 comp. economy engine, stick shift only (The Mullins motor), in a FWD conversion Cobalt, with an automatic?
Again ,nobody would care,... least of all NHRA, as long as you spent the $175 x 5 , plus the $ 350 a few times, plus the $200 for membership, numbers, etc.

You are right, know one pays attention until someone builds something in the book, and it goes fast. What else do we have to go by?
