Sam, I don't dispute that this might be the correct intake casting for '55, but I don't see any intake numbers published on the NHRA Engine Blueprint Specs. for 55-6-7, so I'd run the 459 until told to take it off.

I think with NHRA that's how stuff gets accepted... Just Do It until told differently!!

That is correct......P/G for an automatic only in stock for now. Of course who knows what the 2011 final rule changes will allow. They did it in S/S so whats to say the NHRA wont allow a 3 speed auto in 2011.

larry fulton...

currently NHRA does NOT allow me to run the 459 intake > so i do not know why they would allow the 55-59 cars to do so.

i agree im screwed, if the 459 was superseeded due to lack of available intakes one would thinks mine is harder to find !!!

also 3 speed automatic would be available in all FULL SIZE 1957 - 1961 cars with the exception of 6 cylinders and 348 high HP 270 & 315 i believe... i have the info.

As of now only the 55 to 59 Chevy will be allowed to run. They are the only ones in the class guide, or you might try a 55 to 59 Caddy they are in there to.

The Tri-Fives are a "Little Weak" in the rear end dept. What are the options ? 12 bolt, 9 inch or try to find some 55 to 64 Chevy stuff ? :confused:

Adapt a 12-Bolt Chev @ o.e.m. width for the vehicle ('5-'6-'57 Chev = 60")
