Period correct ?
What would be the standard , eg transmission for a period correct application.
Would a tranny built 14m0nths ago be to long of a time frame. What's the vibe regarding period correct versus matching numbers ? Eg installing a tranny Turbo 400 from a 400 hp 1969 corvette for a yenko nova LT 1 ? |

It's either the born with part or it can be a correctly stamped, correct date piece, which is not as good value wise as the born with piece. When I hear "period correct" piece it sounds like I was too lazy, too cheap or unable not to find a part that should be on the car and this is as close as I'm willing to get. It still detracts from value on an original type car no matter what you call it. Now on a day two car a period correct accessory can add value to a build. In the end it's just words and means different things to different people. Just my 2 cents worth. m

As for the 69 tranny...if it is from a 400hp Vette, that would be a tri-carb 427 hydraulic motor car. Not sure how many of these were made, but it might be more valuable to a 'Vette guy' looking for a correct unit ?? Hope that helps... -wilma

Additionally, there was often a screen printed letter code on the case...for the 70 hi-perf it is CW and is typically pink. -wilma

The assembly line Hydramatic Trans tags have decipherable info stamped into them as well.
Application,model year,date assembled,seq#. |

I have made a decal to restore the trans ID tag. The stamps used to impress the #s are very very hard to find with the correct font.
