<VV> Tranny identification

 I believe all the 60 3 speeds are aluminum. All the rears are cast iron, however. Alas... Think how much weight we'd save if both were aluminum...

Smitty Says;  The whole exercise on my part was   GGGG, but we did gain a little 
something from it.  We are pretty sure there were no 4 spds in 60.  I would like 
to know for sure about the aluminum cases.  Were 60s actually aluminum?  None of 
the ones I have scrapped out had aluminum boxes.  If I am not mistaken the one 
in the Corvair museum hands is a 4 speed.  Can you verify that Clark?  It was 
built as a 3 or 4 off to be used in road racing.  Just for everyday driving and 
for towing I "like Tim" prefer a PG.
