sorry for the lack of updates. this turned into a frame off restoration and have had basically no progress in over a year due to the paint process. I did decide to ditch the Muncie and go with a tremec 5 speed.

Steering column sleeve replacement with console conversion

By the way, I would like to buy one of the smooth collars for the steering wheel if anyone has one they would part with. -

I did my own headliner. It was a little challenging but possible. I will probably do it myself again. -
If I remember correctly, mine hooks to the end of the clutch fork and the hooks to a hole in the frame.

I paid 1000 for mine a year ago. I talked to a guy that rebuilds them. I told him that I hadn't bought one yet and asked him if he could assemble one for me. He recommended a case and gear cluster for my application and put it together for me. I felt like that was a fair price for a "new" transmission built like I wanted it.

As some of you might remember, I put in the Muncie behind my 350 earlier in the year. I just picked up an LQ4 to put in this winter. Ill be posting info here as I learn.

Hey Sam. I am doing a little bit of research on this as well. Look at ls1tech.com. Let me know if you run across any other info. I ran into a friend yesterday that is giving up on a project and wants to sell his 6.0 at a good price. I might get it to put in my 4 speed car.

A build sheet could have been dropped in at the factory in several locations: in rear seat, above gas tank, etc. You cannot obtain one after the fact. If it is a Canadian built car, the cowl tag will have a "Z 20" on it, if it is an SS.

I will have to remove my 19 tooth to compare it. They all seemed the same length. Ire there different length ones available? My speedo cable is bent with gentle curves.
-
Maybe. But it seems to work fine with the 19 tooth, only showing 5 mph less than actual speed.

Hello monte lovers. I recently installed a muncie 4 speed in my 72 monte with 350. I have an 8 tooth drive gear and a 19 tooth driven gear for the speedometer. According to a calculation using the gear ratio and tire size, I need to have an 18 tooth driven gear with my 8 tooth drive gear. I bought one, dropped it in and the speedometer was way off, showing 15 miles under the actual speed. I removed it thinking that I should have counted the teeth before I put it in. When I removed it, I found that the teeth were messed up. Figuring that I didn't get the teeth meshed, I threw it out and put the 19 back in until I could get another 18. I got my second 18 and it did the same thing. I did take my time, using a number 1 square bit screwdriver while pushing it in to get things lined up. Is there something I am missing? Why is this happening. I am going to attach some pics but they are not the best. I have tried in many angles with different amounts of light and these are the best.

Thanks for the info guys.

Hey guys. I have a 1972 monte with stock 350, 4 barrel engine with 117000 miles. It has a Muncie 4 speed and 3.08 gears in the rear. The motor has not been tampered with, as far as I know. I bought it from the original owner last year and it had been parked since 1988. It has been smoking on start up so I decided to change the valve seals. I tore it down last night and got to thinking that this would be a great time to change the cam. My plans for the car are to drive it, a lot. I am not interested in racing but would like to have a nice sound and, although I am really not concerned with more power, a few more horsies are welcome. Would you have any recommendations on what specs I should look for in a cam? This is a budget minded upgrade at this time.
-
I just got my car back after having the 3.08 installed. Seems pretty good. I only drove it a mile home so didn't get to evaluate it much. Looks like a good excuse for a drive tomorrow.

It is my pleasure. I am glad to be contributing to the folks on here that have helped me so much.
