Re: Super Stock GT class question
This might be what you're saying, Mark, but I read the rule to say that ANY model transmission that is the same MAKE as the car, so long as it has no more than 3 forward speeds (unless it came with more, blah, blah, blah) is allowable. My interpretation is that as long as it is a transmission that was installed in a General Motors production vehicle, it is OK. If that is in fact what it says, a Powerglide would be "legal" behind any GM engine, in a legal SS/GT car. It does NOT suggest that a Powerglide would not be legal behind an LS engine, because they were never built with Powerglides.

What I was getting at was that first of all, an automatic has to be available with the engine used. ( i.e. no 302 Z28s with automatic). After that hurdle , it seems to be wide open except for this. An injected 305 from an 80's Camaro, in a 66 Chevy II, could use a 2, 3, or 4 speed automatic, whereas a 350/255 combo in same car would be limited to a 2 or 3 speed. The PG would be grandfathered in, in this example. Nobody uses a 200 4R in class racing that I know of, yet. I say yet, because there's only so many 200 3 speeds left, unless we want to start digging them up out of landfills, or maybe get China to send some back, before they're turned into H.F. tools.
