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.Last edited by NTFDAY; 02-28-2023 at 02:14 PM.

Oh I love me a good Muncie rebuild, especially getting those synchro rings "just 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.Ryan

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."Where the people fear the government you have tyranny.

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"!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
