I used to have a 64 Impala, and it had a 283 with a 2spd powerglide. I think the SS came with a 3spd. I could see how that would work with the high revin rotaries. 2 speeds, fast, and faster!

Im just wondering how the hell some of them got a 26B! some sort of wierd melding of two 13B's? I wasnt aware that more than like, 4 of those engines existed.
Really the eshaft would be the major hold up.

It's funny that the rotary engine is from Hiroshima. That's the best retaliation ever. We bombed them, and they hit us where it hurt the most. "Sirry american, they buird big, heaby, many mobing part motor. We beat them with their own yard toorl"

thats right. I forgot about the 3 speed p/g. you don't see many of them
We were running a superglide in my buddies race nova. they are good tranny's but mounting it up to a rotary had to have been a pain....
