Joe Liberty Crash Box

Good stuff, Jeff...I'm jonesing for a Jerico 5-speed for our Y-Vega project, but I'll probably have to cheap out and go with a TKO...

I believe the Pro Stock boys and some of the Comp racers use the liberty. A clutchless 4 or 5 speed. The rods are straight on the top. Jericos are more like an original type trans as how they fit in the car and how the linkage is set up where as the Liberty looks like it is on its side with the linkage rods on top. Leave the line with the clutch and that is it.

took a ride in a 69 chevelle with a hurst vertigate, dont know what type of trans it had in it. guy built the car in mid 70's original 396 car with over the counter ls7 had the trans built and added the vertigate with a dana 60 456 gears out back. he told me he raced it on the strip for about 2 years and put it away, he had it tucked away until 1993, washed it up and came out one night and destroyed most of the street scene in town. a twin turbo stroker 5.0 took him out, it wasnt a local car, just in town for a dyno tune. i got to know the guy a little and got a ride in that sweet chevelle, clutchless shifting @ 7200 rpm in a ls7 is one ride i wont forget. i went to look him up a couple of years ago and he had moved out of town.
