Powerglide Out Turbo 200 In Jack "the Captain" McCarthy
From 1957 thru 1961 Chevy had a automatic called the TURBOGLIDE ,most of you probably don/t remember this I had one in my 1957 Chevy Belair. It looked like a Aluminum Powerglide with one important differince it was a 3 SPEED automatic. That means any of you racers in Stock who have a 1960 or 1961 Chevy can legally use a Tubo 200 or turbo 350 LEGALLY ,,!!!!! I guess you have to be over 50 years old to remember it but the transmission guys surely should be able to confirm it, anyway just a gift of info fo the 1960 to 1961 racers It has to be a very small group but hope this helps you out Jack McCarthy..

Also the Dynaflo trns was a 2 speed and had the first swtch pitch torque convertor, I worked at ROSSI transmissions in the early 70's and we had customer with a 1957 buick Jr. Stocker that used his horn ring to actuate the stall and lock-up in the convertor.
