Seems to be contrary to how the process has functioned in the past. Then we can add things like the transmission adapter, that currently only exists for that one car....I know you understand the mental gymnastics behind how FEs ended up with C4s...It only steepens the slippery slope that Stock Eliminator maintains a tenuous grasp on. Based on some of that "logic" it would be perfectly legal to use a Metric GM transmission in something like a Fox body Mustang stocker.

Tom, I totally understand what you are saying and Stock isn't anywhere near what it was intended, but what in life is? Everything has evolved and the horse left the barn many moons ago. No going back, believe me I WISH THEY WOULD, But..... why stop progress in a sport we all love. I LOVE the passion coming from all these guys that disagree, makes the sport better. Like I said in a past post, these new cars have many manufactures and it all started getting watered down when they stuck 904 guts in every Stocker trans. LOL I gotta go work on this junk FFFFord, spend twice as much $$$ and work twice as hard as the Chevy guys and now maybe Toyota's too LOL.
