4 speeds for 55-56 chevrolet superstockers

[Jeff Teuton]

In 2007, I sent a letter to tech asking that corporate automatic transmissions be allowed in cars that specify a manual transmission; Viper, ZO6, Z28 and others in that catagory in Super Stock. As noted by this esteemed board or onlookers, only the powergilde got some change. I thought the 4 speed in the 55/56 was also in front of the committee, but as noted in earlier posts, I have been wrong before. Anyone have any idea who asked for the help on the glides? Want to bet they are from the West Coast!! But I do understand that my request was not granted, however, a short reply would have been appreciated. Years ago we had one of them 4 speed autos. My children are all younger that that trans. How about the 4 speed Torqueflite that came in the 75-78 D500-D800 Dodge. I really don't know if even Pro Trans could put 904 guts in that thing. I'm gettin too old for this.

i still assure you they came with a trans that according to rules will allow a six speed to be used.
i promise i have one, self contained trans that will move the car forward in six different ratios...offered in1955-1961 chevys.

all is needed is someone to build one and a lawyer to tech it in
