Muncie M-20

This is mine and Ian's latest project, a 4 speed for the Corvette. I'm getting a little long in the tooth for a 3 pedal car but Ian isn't and one day the car will be his anyway. The gears look pretty good but we'll know more once it's disassembled.

Oh I love me a good Muncie rebuild, especially getting those synchro rings "just right". Okay - so you know the trick with the coat hanger wire, holding a flashlight in your mouth and needle nose pliers, right????

I didn't have a 4 speed car for so long and I hated it. I'll never get rid of my Camaro for that reason. Even if it gets replaced as my favorite driver, I'll still keep it to rip through the gears.

Oh I hear ya Ryan! I have a super T-10 in my little Nova shifted with a short stick Hurst Competition+ shifter. It is a 3.42 first gear and even with the 3.08 rear end, it squats like a duck and I'm thinking that the front wheels are real light on a good launch. When second gear comes (2.88) the tires really complain and I see God momentarily. Third (1.46) is a welcome reprieve. Yup - the ol' four speed is definitely part of hot roddin' and if I have to explain, ya just wouldn't understand.

I still have my old trusty Doug Nash 5 speed, thinking it might find a home in my '57 should I ever get it that far along before someone buys the car! All my drag racer pals tell me to get a 'glide for it, I just tell them I'm too damn old to become "shiftless"!
