<VV> Aluminum 4 speed

[Wrsssatty at aol.com]

My understanding is that only two 4-speed transmissions with an  aluminum 
case were made for the Corvair.  My further understanding is that  they were 
not made anticipating a racing application but as a general prototype  and 
abandoned as too costly for the Corvair's designated economy car  niche.

Smitty Says; That's  the way I remember it Gary. Only 3 or 4 were poured 
for use in road  racing.or other competition. I believe Chevy had plans to 
run at the 24 Hr  at Daytona or some such.
