Why not just put the Cobra Jet powertrain in your Fiat?

YES!!! This is just one more time that NHRA (Chevy) has put their foot on Mopar to keep them down because they (Chevy) just cannot keep up! Ford has no problem because they play smart!

That has to be one of the dumbest things I ever read.

Yes, because Chevrolet forced Chrysler to submit the V-10 with a PowerGlide.

Someone is huffing paint, solvent, or gasoline.

Mr. Alan how did Chevy force us to come out with V10's when our cars have been out for umm at least a year before one of them has been seen? Just asking? And I'm guessing that once the Ford was submitted with a powerglide and NO other transmittion is the reasoning behind our powerglide. Also, I believe it was Mopar getting turned down for a super charged car that "forced" us to come out with the V10.
Just saying.....

I know, Im ready for the beating so bring it on......LMAO

Joe. That post was not a response to you.

If you want to know how Chevrolet forced Mopar to submit the V-10 with a PowerGlide, I suggest you ask "Pentastar340", AKA Leonard Johnson, who apparently owns "Drag Pack #106". He is the one who is making that absurd claim.

The best guess is maybe the guys at Chrysler figured the V-10 could make enough torque and HP to pull a PowerGlide, and they wanted a good strong lightweight 2 speed.

Hey, maybe NHRA will let you have a TH 350! It fits right in where a PowerGlide does, all you need is to get someone to make you a case with the bellhousing for a V-10.

Funny how a guy with a 283 in a 67 Chevelle can go fast enough with a PowerGlide to set a record, but guys with a 512 V-10 can't make a PowerGlide run for them. Go figure.

I guess some people need to read their post before they submit it. Its kind of funny when you read a post but yet you have no clue what they race or have ever seen them at the track.


We do have a couple of 3 speeds that already fit and we have tested. Its up to NHRA to legalize it.

On not being able to make a powerglide run for us...well we did go 9.26 already with it. Its not that we cant get it to run for us, we just want what everyone else gets....a 3 speed.

I dont believe a mustang has been sold from Ford with a 3 speed yet. I know they are in the development stages of it but as far as I know none have been sold with one yet. So that is why we are asking for one.

[D.Johns]

Only the Super Stock only SCJ 4.0l whipple 5.4s were sold with the 2-speed. All the other autos where 3 speed C4s prepared by Joel's on Joy on the stock eliminator cars(08-13) if I remember correctly.

Besides real cars have 3 pedals lol.
