Herb, I was looking at your specs on your car and have some questions on
parts you choose. Can you send me your email address where I can ask you off
forum? I'm wanting to build another big block in the future for my car.

To all- I'm debating between 2 possibilities
for an overdrive in my 64 and would like some feedback and experiences.
I'm running a 454 that is on the ragged edge of street-ability, Muncie M21 and a
12 bolt with 4.56 gears. My primary use is dragracing, but I drive to and
from the strip, 3
4.56 cogs are a lot of gear of a big block,unless
you're running 1/8" mile. If you run a Gear Vendors unit,the weak link is still
the Muncie trans. Not sure how one would allow a clutchless 1-2 shift,though.
Herb is more familiar with the GV od unit so maybe he will add his
input.

Any body running flat tappet cams might want to read the June issue of Hot
Rod magazine.According to the article oil manufactures have taken out zinc
and phosphorus additives. (ZDDP) With the elimination of this additive it
wipes out your cam and lifters.The only oil that has it is shell Rotella
T.
The zinc and phosphorous additives tend to plug up catalytic converters on
newer vehicles and they have roller valvetrains which can live without the
stuff. There are still quite a few oils with these additives,though. I know
Valvoline, Redline, Shell,and a few others do. Any SD-rated oil will have
No problem Dan, however, my email addresses will only be good for a few more
days. On 1 June we're moving and I'm not sure how long it will take to get
back online. If you want to email me, I'll try to answer before I turn off
service.

The trick to the GV unit is that 1st over is almost
identical to close ratio 2nd gear. This allows you to hit first over when
you would normall grab second, without having to clutch or move the
shifter. Then go to 2nd over at the nest shif, then 3rd over, never
actually shifting into 4th,
Enjoy the move,Herb. Better you than us. j/k,pal. be safe.
I'd rather be horsewhipped than have to move again.

A
friend of mine has the Gear Vendors unit behind a TH400. It's a kick to
ride in his car when he shifts manually - with a headlight dimmer switch!
I don't know how it would be behind a manual trans but I do know the 1st to 2nd
gear shift will still require a clutch, it's the 1st to 1st ov
Hi Devin,
I have a TKO-600 5sp in my 69, and I love it. It's behind a 454 also
(roughly 500-550 ft/lbs).
The TKO will bolt right in place of your Muncie, with the following
exceptions:
* You'll need a 26 spline clutch disc
* shortened driveshaft with 1330 series slip yoke installed
* and some
Are you reading GV's hype or have you actually used
one,Devin? The reason I ask is a few people that own them say their gear
splitter function doesn't quite work as slick as GV says,,that their main
benefit is reducing the final drive ratio.
If your road use only consists of a 35 mile jaunt
I guess that like everybody else I'm after the best
of all worlds. I want to be wicked fast in the quarter, yet be able to hop
in and go for a couple of hundred miles if I so desire.
I'm debating between a tranny upgrade and power
steering conversion project for the coming winter. In time
Pictures aren't all that great (maybe for a reason) , but at 2k or so, someone could have what appears to be a straight 67 body. There seem to be plenty of frames available to put back under it. Hate to see what he does to the Henry-J.

If you truly want to go "wicked fast" at the drag strip then you need
an automatic transmission. A manual is fun, but very difficult to get
really good 60 foot times with at the track. And if you're at all
serious about "wicked times" then you'll need a good high stall speed,
