Driving a 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with 427 Big Block V8 High Output 425hp

This engine sounds mean! I'm so excited for you to hear this car on the road. It really has an amazing engine and exhaust sound, it handles great, and it's a joy to drive. I know you'll enjoy your ride with me on the backgrounds of Massachusetts.

You captured the sound of the engine really well. Felt I was riding in the car with you. I think it has its own unique sound. Takes you back to the era of the 60s. Great car.

That car was actually 450hp and did the 1/4 mile in the high 12's on bias ply tires in 66, no Mustang (Then)is touching that, I believe it was the quickest production car up to that time including the street Hemi.

Do you guys think when Ross is driving and he is about to approach a whole level of 50mph he says "ok waiting for the break above 50, watching.. watching.. adding at 49 miles here more gas, watching for the break.. needs less traffic here, holding.. holding.. and bam we broke 50mph now watching for 51mph, need less cops here, and watching.. 52mph, adding 52mph and sold my position because I saw a cop on lvl 2 in the far distance!"

How to you shift into 5th gear? Having the under body muffler is far better than the noisy side exhausts. The side exhaust reduce engine output below what the under body muffler system produces.

[@IamWedge]

Nice Vette Ross! That really does sound nice. I have to admit it would be fun to take out on a cruise. I can relate to the manual steering. You get s good feeling of the road. Now.... are those Bias ply tires I'm seeing? I would take them off and get some radials. Chevy is a standard 14x7 rim. You will be surprised how radials feel on it, night and day. I know a little about that Muncie 4 Speed. I to have the M22 Rock Crusher. I believe yours is the M21. I Rebuilt mine a few years back. Simple. One thing that many people miss when rebuilding them is checking the Z bar out. It's the bar off the frame connecting to the clutch push rod. Make sure it's weld where its connected to the frame is good and not cracked.

[@TireKickers-RossCameron]

You are right on the radials, I think it will be an upgrade for 2021!

[@donjoiner1658]

I thought there were three different Muncie transmissions the M 20 The M 21 and the M 22 Inn I thought the M 22 Was the rock crusher

[@IamWedge]

@@donjoiner1658 Nice Catch I got the numbers reverse. I'll correct it. I have the M22 Rock Crusher. Ross's Vette is a 66, The M22 didn't come out till 67. If here completely stock he's probably got the M21. Some can be ID by the serial # but odds are the input shaft will tell the true story. The M20 and M21 had 10 spline input shafts whereas the M22 had a 26 Spline shaft and was made from a stronger alloy.

[@donjoiner1658]

@@IamWedge i’ve been told that the M 20 was used in lower horsepower and lower revving small block cars and the M 21 was used in the higher horsepower small blocks And big blocks

Why bother using the turn signal when you are already at the stop sign. In case you forgot, the turn signal is to let other know in advance you going to turn.
