Apparently, you can now use an automatic only combo ,with a stick shift, in a FWD conversion body style.
So then , how about a DZ 302 with an automatic trans? What are some other possibilities?

Yeah, those are good ones.
I don't suppose anyone would say a word ,until one became no. 1 Q. 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.

How about the 350 Olds FI out of a Cadillac Seville, with a 4 speed. But, seeing it doesn't come with a stick anyway , just use a 5-speed. Better yet , Kenny Sharp gets the hp up too high in his El Dorado with the 425 Caddy, so he puts a stick in it. Good to go?

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? Ernie |

Truth be known, I set a stick shift record with an automatic only combo, about 20 years ago. The notation was in the book at one time, but was edited out in later versions. Not my problem. Decades ago, there was a guy out there who knew all this stuff. I guess he was irreplaceable .
