SS/GT classes transmission?

[mannymen]

In the GT classes do u have the option to run either an auto or manual trans, for any engine combination? Example can u run an auto behind a 302 Chevy. Just not clear in the rule book


Thank You

Other examples are the Ford Boss 302 and Boss 351; they were manual trans only.

The way I read the rule book it says, " any model transmission, same make as car, with a maximum of three forward speeds". To me this means you could have or a 283" Chevy in a 98 Camaro SS /GT with a 200 metric or turbo or .....
