Is the 3 speed as durable as the M-20?
A friend may have one of those dearborn (?) 3 speed trans that he says was pulled from an old 400 lemans.
I have not seen it but he wants $100.
I have a 71 GTO, with a fresh 464, 6x-4, (9.5:1) Melling 041 clone (spc-8), Rhoads lifters, 1.5 rockers, RA manifolds with X pipe, Muncie M-20, and a 3.73 12 bolt with a yukon posi.
I know folks have blown muncies with much smaller engines, so i'm guessing that this is the weak link in my setup?
I dont race the car but I am tempted to try a few passes.
There is nothing wrong with my muncie; I'm very happy with it. I never stray far from home with my car and so an overdrive trans doesnt interest me.
I was just wondering what the scoop is with the 3 speed and if it's worth buying and rebuilding for a quick fix backup?
