1957 150

I,ve figured that a ,57 150 model at 220h.p. can be run in N/s but my question is what trans and rear end would be allowed in this car?

PowerGlide , or a 3 speed manual - 12 bolt rear would be a good choice ......

I would use the 265 motor............

Bobby - I believe the 265 is a two barrel only ...........

Could not a metric 200 3-speed be used, as Turboglide (a 3-speed automatic per the "Captain" rule) was available with V8s (not sure if Turboglide was available on all models with V8's)????

If it's legal, it could possibly be an advantage over a Powerglide....

I know the Turboglide was available with the 220 HP.

One more thing-can the stock rear be beefed up enough to handle it.

They are notorious for being weak, I wouldn't even dream of it.
