"Paradise By The Dashboard Lights"

57 Chev moredoor, about 67. 250-275hp 327, "camel hump" heads. It would have been 300 hp except for low compression pistons. Chevrajunk 3 speed. I used to carry a spare in the trunk. Remember, 55-57's had bellhousing mounts, so you could yank the gearbox in a hurry. I used to be able to swap it in about 15 minutes. When I joined the Navy in late May, 68, I had 12 broken 1st-reverse sliders in the junk box.
