cast iron Powerglide/aluminum Powerglide

We raced a 1961 two door impala hardtop SS/X in 1972 283/2bbl with an aluminum glide. We could use either the cast iron or the aluminum unit. When the SS/X record was bombed we switched to a 1962 2dr post car SS/W and set the record with that so I know that setup was legal. The 62 would be a U/SA car now and our best ET back then was 13.70. Probably would run well under the current index even with the stock intake with all the latest technology. The cost of getting a nice 62 would put it out of the dime rocket category.
