Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
[ QUOTE ]
Basically I am changing the 4 speed gear ratio from: 2.20 / 1.64 / 1.28 / 1.00 to: 2.52 / 1.88 / 1.46 / 1.00 It will be a lot better on the street and out of the hole at the strip. Plus the gears are made of stronger material than a typical M20 and they are machined at a 20 degree helix angle on the gearset as opposed to a 30 degree angle. If my math is correct it will make my 3.73 rear gears feel like 4.26 in 1st changing from a 2.20 to a 2.52 first gear. [/ QUOTE ] You can also upgrade to the very strong, "Italian Gears" Dan

Will the Italian Gears shell on 3rd too? I heard of 2 people that did but didn't know if it was BS. [/ QUOTE ] I have done a little research on the M222W gears and have heard that they are supposed to be good up to 600hp and that 1st gear is the weak point. I guess we'll find out!

Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
The source that told me was a tranny line tech at the local Chevy dealer for the last 31 or 32 years. He does about 10 muncies a year yet for local friends so I kinda trust what he says.
What he tried to tell me is that he personally popped a few from what he told me in his with a semi stock LS7 crate motor that he bought back in the 70s with 411s. He was telling me it didn't like powershifting and I don't remember if it was from 2-3 or 3-4.

Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
I received my valvetrain yesterday. I ordered these parts on Wednesday. The cam was custom built and I still got everything on Saturday!
     Plus I got my 811 water pump back from Arthur Gould. It sure looks a lot better than it did. Thanks for the tip to send it to him.
