I was readin' some of the remarks here and was wondering what kind of transmission you were getting. Also wanted to say, I have a close friend restoring his LS6 1970 Chevelle to near new original except he had been racing it with an auto trans where it originally had a 4 speed, he sold the 4 speed a few years after buying it in favor of the auto for drag racing, that said, he's pretty good about researching stuff before he buys and has recently received a 4 speed built to m22 specs from a company called Auto Gear in New York. Its supposed to be even better than a m22 for quality of the gears and other parts in it. Just wanted to let you know about it in case you hadn't already heard of them. I'm a newbie and still learning at 66 years old so if I'm off base, just let me know.

Dan;
You're not off base in any way, and welcome to The Supercar Registry! The trans I had in the car was built on an Autogear case and iron midplate with GM internals. I have a friend who's going to perform an autopsy on the box and see what--if anything--is still salvageable. If it's worth the effort, I'll get another case & tailhousing later on down the road and rebuild the box and put under the workbench for the day I put the Chevelle back to stock. |

Eric, I measured the long Muncie against the standard Muncie and...
The long one is 6 1/4" longer... The trans mount is 7 1/2" further back... The shifter mounting pad is in the same location... Hope this helps... Crash |

DAMN; now that is what drag racing should be. You wanna fill the stands bring back a class where the driver actually has to shift. |

That's Robert Schmitt's car, he was the winner of the 2004 Hot Rod magazine's pump gas drags event.
One of my favorite `67's of all time. <object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/VpvLLiNzQH8"></param> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param> <embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/VpvLLiNzQH8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"> </embed></object> |

Some of these "race cars" have more electonics in the cockpit then the Space Shuttle! Let go of the button, stab it and aim it ...

Pretty sure that he's using the rev limiter for shifts on that.
