Man, I'm glad to see you back out here - hope you're on the mend.

So what is the big deal with not allowing the intechange of these two transmissions? I'll spare everyone the list (partial list because none of us know the whole list) of bogus stuff they have accepted. This doesn't seem like a big stretch.

Thanks for the kind wods, Bruce!!!! It's nice to be back.

I feel there's nothhing remotely "bogus" about this deall. It has simply been overlooked for too many years. Everyone seems to agree that it's a 3 speed transmission except the NHRA Tech Dept.
Maybe it's because you can't feel the gear changes, I dunno...
speed (Metric 200?) although they could have come with a 3 speed, originally (Turboglide.)

Time to rectify
To me, the "big deal" is that, for example, you can legally use a 904 behind a 340 (a never-b uilt OEM application), while the Turboglide (3 speed) claim for cars like- Cap' Jackk's 283 wagon are denied the opportuunity to swap to an alternative 3 this long-standing injustice,,,

Justt my 2 cents....

Bill,

Bogus is the word for many of the parts that have been accepted. My point is this transmission swap deserves serious consideration by nhra.
