Default 4 speed

I have a line on an advertised 4 speed originally out of a '77 Camaro...still trying to get more details, numbers, etc...

Was the 4 speed used in Camaros the same as the 'Vette in 1977?

I don't think a 77 camaro used a muncie. It may have been a saginaw. That said, if it is., it will fit- it's the same length as a muncie, bell to boss.

How you can tell the difference:

1) muncies have an aluminium case. Saginaws have a cast iron case.

2) The reverse lever on a muncie is on the tailshaft. on a saginaw it's on the main case.

And in '77, it would have been a saginaw 4 speed:
