    A Gear Vendors to be exact. I don't know if they are allowed on here but I'm thinking about bolting one on the back of my 2:52 1st gear Muncie in my 394 61 Olds, not only will it be cool but I won't have to run a 63" driveshaft. Cost is not a real big issue because I'm getting a bonus from work next week ( and I already have several body parts invested in this project so why stop now) it's the first time I don't have to pay bills with it. and oh, I'm not married.. lol. I heard it was a good combo but would like to hear from some real people that have experienced them. I'll be posting a thread on my 394 Olds 4 speed conversion as soon as it's done. Thanks!

    I've been thinking of putting a Gear vendors overdrive behind the Muncie in my coupe, but would require much chassis modification. Everyone I know who runs them has nothing but praise for there durability and strength.
     
  4. Wouldn't it be cheaper/easier to just install a Tremec TKO in place of the Muncie?...
