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.

Run whatcha brung, bracket 2 non delay...formerly called Superstock GT....

You got that right.

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?

Well Mark, you can use the premise the 260 Olds came with a 5-speed stick transmission!
