Default Re: High performance with a muncie (Robert N)

when I get a good job and a house with a garage this vette is getting the body off treatment.

Blown 383, big wide tires on the rear, fix the interior, new paint, sidepipes, new suspension, complete new brake system, and it goes on and on and on

Personal opinion. Neither rear end or Muncie will handle anything that resembles decient HP. I still have assorted pieces left from about a dozen Muncies and almost as many rear ends that I broke in my youth in a street car with not that much of a 468. I finally went to an iron case ST-10 and gave up on the rear end and put a very mild motor in it that wouldn't break anything.

Strange, I hammer on mine , but I don't go nuts, yet the rear end lives. I don't granny shift either.
