Noo Joysee says "y'all"? And not even SOUTH Noo Joysee!

Dwight,
Isn't a guy from "Noo Joysee" saying "Ya'll" an abomination to all us "Folk" in Arkansas?
This is the proper salutation:
Ya'll "DO" have a Merry Christmas

Yes you can replace the 3sp manual with a 4sp manual in stock along with SS. So if you have a 265, 6Cyl comet or 6Cyl Nova you can run a 4 speed. Also for PG optioned stockers and SS can run three speed autos. The above mentioned combo's were just examples. Hope this helps.

Robert, I looked and do not see this in the rule book. Help me out and tell me where it is? I would think the three speed stick to four speed stick would be in alignment with the two speed to three speed auto accommodation.

when I started on this rambler, it had a 2bbl 232 6cyl in it but the 3speeds were really weak, asked nhra about a 4 speed and they said no.
did something change?

James it appears that I owe a appology concerning the 4sp in stock. I really thought that I read it in the updates but I do not see it in the rule book at all. I believe that this would be rather easy to update with NHRA since the auto trans rule is very similar between S and SS, I am refering to the number of forward gears.

Thanks

This not correct then?
Someone from a concerned party needs to ask why not.

Not as per the 2016 rule book. In Stock the trans rules (For use of forward gears) does not match that of SS for the sticks. BUT for Autos in S, as you know, you can run a metric behind a PG combo etc. But, it looks like until someone ask the NHRA with a letter will allow a 4sp to replace a 3sp maual in stock.

Sorry again Mark.
