Hi Alan...I should have said the 57 283 /220, (now 215) can now run the 459 intake also, thanks to Captain Jack and his diligence. (see recently updated specs)
Say hello to to The Old Man !

Well, I've got a nice 2 dr hard top sitting in my shop that never gets driven. It's a bell air with an inline 6, 3 on the tree over drive & 4.10 gears.
I love the car, but never get a chance to use it.
thought I'd make it into a stocker??
That way I WILL do something with it!
Thanks for all the info!!
I need to see what the powers at be have to say....

Glen,

Tried to send you a PM but your mailbox if full.

Re: 1957 chevy in stock
 

I learn so much from youse guys. This post was interesting as I have thought seriously about a lower class Stock class car for awhile. I wasn't aware that the 55-57s could still be run. I have a 57 more-door belaire setting in the garage. 283 -power pack ,powerglide. If in fact the car could run with a metric trans,would the four door allow me some advantage -jumping class ,ect?
Can someone tell me what the car would have to run for the NHRA index?
Did i mention ,I really like this car ,but i seem to ignore it way too much.
Thanks

Looks like not much weight difference with a 4dr.

Look it up here:

OK I'm just a Ford guy asking this. A 57 has the motor mounts @ the very front of the block and, if I remember right, a mount on each side of the bell housing. Then the trans just hung from there. @ least this is how a 57 Pontiac is, (I had 1). My question is this; how, under Stock rules are you going to put a Metric trans in that ? :confused:
