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?

Re: 1957 150
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.

Re: 1957 150

Re: 1957 150
The captain rule as I understand it, all 1958? to 1963 sbc that came with the turbo glide can use the T200 or T350. But, with the 57, the 220hp is the best combo. We run a 3sp manual in SS and it is the one hold up (Now we can run a 4spd) but not in stock. I would run the powerglide combo with a 12bolt. You will have more cars to run in N/SA vs N/S. With that said the 3sp manual with a Jerico (Got one) is a good reliable combo. So you just make a choice on what you rather run? Two pedals or three?
Robert P.S. VERY COOL CAR! |
