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..

I am old enough to remember it, I always thought it was more of a single speed "Dynaflow" type tranmission. If I remember correctly the gear selector said P-N-D-Gr. The last position was "Gear Reduction" for engine brakiing.
No being a GM guy I'll vote for allowing a direct drive out of a sprint car. :-)
Fortunately for the GM guys I have now shared my total knowledge of the subject.
