I read an online magazine article about the build up of the 2010 Cobra Jets and they show the Reid glide bolted up on a 5.4 Blower motor. I'll look for the article and post the link. Neat read.

... So, in this age of 4,5, and even 6 speed O/D electronically controlled automatic transmissions, NHRA is now buying a manual 2 speed Powerglide as an option in a 2010 vehicle? Unbelievable...or is it ,really?

You guys realize ,of course, the 904 3 speed that came in the mail trucks behind the Chevy II 4 cylinder, that actually bolts to a Chevy V-8 ,is not legal in Stock or Super Stock.

This is getting more and more ridiculous. You have to wonder how much money has changed hands for NHRA to look the other way! Jim

They are not looking the other way...they are just approve combinations that are submitted by the OEM under the premise of the OEM meeting the numbers for specialty built cars as shown in the rule book. Just a way for the OEM to use the rule book to their advantage.

I think Ford just learned how to play the game. If you get a chance to read the article, do so.

I don't have a dog in the fight, I'm just a poor old bracket racer that likes to run the 90 classes once and awhile. But I would love to have two new CobraJets. One to put away and another to wear out those of you stockers that refuse to admit your bracket racing.

Then at the next bracket race, you wouldn't mind pulling a piston for us, would you?

That same trans was installed in Jeep Cherokeees with the Chebby V-6 too.
