Not required on a 4 or 6 cylinder. The approved flywheel and clutch is, though.

I'd love to see a Super Six , 4 speed in V/Stock.

I knew it wasn't required Mark, I was just thinking if there were any floating around it would be nice to get a hold of one for added strength and safety.

I can't help but think that a 4spd 2-bbl Super Six could be competitive in U or V, question is could it be done on a budget and live?? I have a bunch of B-body 8 3/4 stuff that would bolt in and a couple of 833 A-body 4spds(one Liberty) that are also a direct bolt in, you would have to live with the ratio but I think they would survive ok behind a 2900lb "buzzin half dozen" if the clutch was right. It would be fun to play with since I have several of these cars and engines floating around..lol!

Just remember , a stick car will break stuff ,even in V/Stock

I'd slick- shift the Chrysler 4 speed and try it. Get yourself an approved diaphragm p.p. and rag disc and shim it out a little until it barely wants to slip on the 3-4 shift.
We're not spending any money on this thread..remember .

What about the LB8v6 FI engine 2.8 132 hp in the same Camaro 1987? I've tried to find the carb version in many scrapyards and no luck on the carb and intake. Claude

In 1971 my H/G slant 6 powered 4 speed Anglia broke cranks off at the fywheel flange on two different engines. The motor still ran both times, the flywheel just didnt turn. Other people say they never heard of it but Im just telling you what happened, they will break
