M22W from four gear trans?
 

Is anybody running a trans build by four gear trans? Im looking at buying one of their M22W street/race version for my 71' turbo LSX. It Will be in the 600rwhp range. Just want to see if i can get any feedback on them before pulling the trigger? I think he makes his own gears instead of using the Italian gears? Is this correct?

I cant give much "feedback" on the trans you are looking at, but will say that the biggest trouble with a Muncie trans are the ratios! Your close ratio trans is a 2.20 1st, while that does work with a 4.56 gear on the track, I would opt for a TKO 600 trans, go 3.42- 3.73 on the rear gear & take advantage of that lower 1st gear.....as well as the overdrive gear;) The spread on the gears will be wider.....but my bet is overall driveability will be better? just my thoughts....best of fun,crazyL

Thanks for the info. the Muncie i was looking at has a 2.56 1st gear, im running 3.73's. Any idea where I can find pricing on a TKO 600 that would be rated for 800hp?

I need to do some checking while mine is out and see just what my 1st gear ratio is. The first time I drove it I thought "man...these 3.73's aren't bad at all". Then I shifted 3 more times in about 50 feet and realize that she sure is a close ratio trans with a tall 1st.
