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?

You're right about that, 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 .
