Mark is correct.
The transmission had to be available with the engine combination.

Other examples are the Ford Boss 302 and Boss 351; they were manual trans only.

Also, number of gears has to match, 5 speeds only if combo originally came that way.

If it came with a 3 speed you are allowed to run a 4 speed.

I guess I should have clarified that, but no 5 speed in an original 4 speed combo. Also, you can run a 4 speed in an orig 5 speed combo if you wish.

The way I read the rule book it says, " any model transmission, same make as car, with a maximum of three forward speeds". To me this means you could have or a 283" Chevy in a 98 Camaro SS /GT with a 200 metric or turbo or .....
