Well,
This is sorta on the same subject as to "ole" combinations that kinda get over looked. Has anyone else noticed in the stock car spec section NHRA list HP ratings for Chebbie STOCKERS back to 1956 (maybe earlier, I didn't check) Why have a spec if you can't run it? STOCKERS

You can in SS! (i mean..It's needed)

The combo has to be in the class guide to run super stock. For example a 58 Pontiac could not run super stock because it is not in the class guide.

Tony..thats ofcourse what i meant but didn't explain..to good!

Re: Powerglide Out Turbo 200 In Jack "the Captain" McCarthy
 

They do not recogonize a powerglide in a 61 Chevy with a 348 250h.p. or a 280h.p. But they do recogonize it being with the 348 305h.p. They make no sense.

thanks for the offer bruce...

my TRANSMISSION MAN - Thomas Arnett already has me a piece ready and MJ has a few convertors IF we decide to try it.

p.s. bruce 4470# U/SA scale weight / low 300 hp - peaks at 6770rpm with my little carb and the LEGIT intake because, of course, i am the only 283 which does not get the bogus 459 AFB intake (sux)
and by the way the scale says ouch :)

Re: Powerglide Out Turbo 200 In Jack "the Captain" McCarthy
 

Jack,
I have a couple of two barrel converters set for 325 hp at 3,500 pounds. Probably won't work but give a shout if this thing comes together for ya.

Jack:
Hope you get somewhere with this. I, like others was the proud owner of a 57 Belair with the Tubroglide. Mine didn't last long and I change it to a 3 speed stick. (yes I had to make a pilot bering). I do know they were available through 61. I worked in a Chevy dealership from 67-69 and a older transmission guy told me, that like several other GM new ideas, that by 61 they had it fixed and they were a pertty good transmission, but they had such a bad rep by then that no one would touch one. Good luck at the Valley.
