"What more cooler than a 283 manually shifted 4 speed wagon NOT A JERICO SISSY MATIC."

Well, I saw Jack Mullin's 421 SD Wagon (SS/O?) circa 1975 run in a Division 2 race at Bradenton. That was a fun car to watch as Jack banged the gears in that big ol' wagon. That Chevy wagon sounds like one of the Jr. Stockers from the late 1960s. There is a guy that runs in Division 4 with a 55-57 Chevy (not a wagon) that runs a 4-speed in SS. I think the little engines are fun to watch since they buzz the heck out of them.
