Do you think we need to be "bailed out"? If I'm not mistaken we have the fastest A/S, F/SA, and CC/SA, so I really hope that wasnt directed at the Teuton camp. If it was well I guess everyone will just have to wait till Indy to see what this is all about!

Who cares?

Yes they should get a 3 speed. 3 on the tree with a syncro first gear!

It's all a joke anymore anyway. What Ford or Chrysler ever came with a Powerglide? What Chrysler or Camaro ever came with a 9" rear end?

Ed arent you old enough to remeber
Chrysler Powerflite and the Fordomatic both were 2 speed about the same time as Chevys Turboglide don't have a excuse for the 9 inch but remember GM did use the top loader 3 speeds in GTO and 442 if you ordered a 3 speed

Daryl I have oftened wondered why only some Fords, Chev and Mopars got aftermarket heads and not all. Since I know very little about the Olds heads I can only venture a quess. Is it because there is a difference in configuration, valve size, etc., or because there are only a handful of Olds racers and a lack of letter writing to NHRA?? I am very serious and not trying to make light of it, I really do not know the reason. By the way I run the factory cast iron heads. Good Luck

Joey

I can appreciate your passion and it is to be admired, but I believe that you may have answered your own question as to why you shouldn't be allowed to change out your Powerglide for a ProTrans 3 speed. If you have the "Fastest" A/S, F/SA, CC/SA etc., etc., why in the world do you need more "Advantages".

On your comment about it being directed at the Teuton Camp......since you represent them...all I can say is "if the shoe fits.....?"

I await Indy with bated breath..........

Good Luck

But Ralph, they weren't Powerglides. If they put Powerflites in the Chryslers and Fordomatics in the Fords, that would be legit. If the GTO came from the factory with top loaders (I wasn't aware of that), they should be legal. The Chryslers & Camaros never came from the factory with a Ford 9" rear.

Mr. Durham, I believe that we agree, just in different wording. And I should have been clearer as to not assuming that you guys have not worked on your car.

Just was stating that your car is fast and so is 000. 000 is claimed to have not had the heads off.

Congrats on running that well this weekend. Hope we get to meet you guys somewhere along the way.
