i set the t/auto record with it in 94 or 95 at e town. I remember all the stockers
/ super stockers you had at CT. dragway / CT intl. back when i used to go
with my old man. Isn't someone running a 55 chevy nhra legal stocker out
of the south Jersey area? Al jr.

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 !

Carl Libucha of Easthampton MA is running a 55 Chevy in P/SA. He went to round 5 in stock at Epping last month.

That is Shelby Hurley our own watermelon queen! Her dad, Steve has one in s/s she has drove hers in stock but also s/s. from what I understand they just got another one, but that's a story for them to tell

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....

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.

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 ?
