I finally have been spending some time on the firebird lately
Ridetech rear suspension is complete and I braced things
up. Finally installed the fuel cell, almost done with the
plumbing.. just a little wiring to do and hope to get it
back on the road again and off the Jackstand Racing Team:)

I bet you'll beat me at getting the car back on the ground, Bob. Glad you're moving forward again.

Bob

Nice to see it coming together. You coming out to GG in March with this hopefully?

So I have been missing the old Muncie
2nd gear so finally pulled the tko 600
and ordered not a M-22 or 23 they are now
making a M-24. Better cooling and gear angles
with a bunch of other goodies including
Gearing with better ratios

Midwest Muncies. Can't wait to see it arrive

Bob

Bob,

Any more info on this trans? Midwest doesn't have it on their website.

Jeff at Midwest did not get it on the website yet
So I have 755 hp and his m-23 is good for 800 hp
I might tweak things later so his m-24 is good for more
It is an ultra case. Sealed bearings both ends better cooling
Dipstick 2 drain plugs and better gear angles
It still has all the good stuff as the m-23 lightened main shaft
Upgraded shift shafts and synchros etc. I am also getting the polished
Gears with ratios of 2.20, 1.50, 1.17 and 1.1 a lot better for
my engine with a .750 roller cam. The Engine did not like the Tko
Gearing at all. Give him a call if you want all the details
I almost bought a reconditioned Jerico but decided not to go that route

Back in the Stone age, I had a 2.20 first gear M22 in my GTO. I realize that different engine like different things, but it seems like that gearing is really close. A T56 has a 2.66 first gear typically and a M21 had a 2.48 (as I recall).

Just something to think about.
