Street/Gasser clutch & transmission? Recomendations?? What works??

Well, it got here! Holy Bat ****! It is long and heavy, the ship ticket said 207#! We were unpacking it and in one of the sealed bags was a Purple Anodized Tool and I told my buddy it was for setting the shifting preload and it was a glorified fish scale and he starts laughing and said "Yep It sure is" and on the side it says "B*** Pro Shops!" Funny stuff! Well now to save more money for the clutch and always the next needed part....Maybe I will make it to the HAMB Drags someday.

 

If you have a rock crusher it should hold up fine. There was a time that I would have told you to get a Zoom clutch but I doubt that they are available any more. I have installed McCleod clutches in more modern street/strip cars. I do know that they hold up well and don't slip.

Well since I ppsted without reading the entire thread I see you are going with a Lenco. Not a traditional ****** by no means but they are cool to the bone. I have wanted one for years. Good choice.

 

Did you see the cover car on the latest issue of Hot Rod? came in the mail yesterday. It's sporting a lenco. And a HAMB tag

 

Well, not 50s 60s traditional but they came out in 1970 which is good for what I am trying to do, a mid 70s theme Street Freak theme.

 

I put a Jeffco in a 57 Chevy for a customer. 632" and 868 HP on the Dyno all motor. The nice thing about the Jeffco is it downshifts easily so makes for a nice street drive able trans
Jeff used to work for Lenco. He p***ed away a year or so ago, but the shop is still turning out his vision for the best transmissions http://www.jeffcoperformance.com/

 

I'd trade my turbo 400 for a M-22 in a heartbeat. I love sticks!

 

On my car, I ended up welding in a rolled sheetmetal trans tunnel with a removable top, and removable velcro carpet. I modified the stock cross member, and made a flexible mount by sandwiching a piece of rubber inside of the mount brackets.
