<VV> RE: 1966 Corsa 140-4speed for Powerglide Swap

[Larry Forman]

Hi Gary,
Regarding "A powerglide behind a 140 is fairly gutless, (my opinion)", I am pretty sure that is far from reality.  I have heard that the 140 PG was actually the fastest accelerating Corvair even over the 180 turbos, however, I have not checked the documented evidence.
