I will be putting a 200 in my E/SA 67 Camaro for sure, well as soon as I get the $$$$.
The sickening part is we have been trying to this done for 18 years. But it took the new $100,000 cars to get it done. Thank you Chrysler.

I've got a powerglide with a 4500 stall under the bench, guaranteed to be faster than the dump truck tranny in my 65 396 Iimpala wagon now. ---Trevor

just changing transmissions....

Me? I'm staying with the PG in my Super Stock Chevelle...know I'm in the 1% that
thinks that the transmission rule should have been etched in STONE and NEVER
CHANGED from before....besides I don't have the $$$ to keep up with you boys in
the "Enhancement of the Week Club".....LOL!!!!!!

Don't get me going on the 1991 "vote" that changed the way on SS cylinder heads!

If only "Farmer" could see us NOW!

Pretty clear that Salty Dog is neutered. Not my fault either. LOL.

Plenty of accusations with no back up. I have a friend nicknamed Salty Dog, but he was a lot more positive. Gonna be a long winter I guess.

Hate to go against the grain, but this new rule doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I believe they could update / allow suspension parts that would provide more safety or reliability to us.

I will not change the seats in my car our my wife's...

I personally like the look of factory interior in this class .

So tell me about this illegal crank in my car, I'm interested to know what's wrong with it.

I don't think a lot of cars will have to or want to change,but in my case,the bench seat is awful. I don't think they needed to open it up to SS specs though. I am planning on a newer factory bench seat. There are some that will look good and be a lot safer than what we had to use before.
