Default Re: Liberty gearbox circa mid 70's??

If I may, I'm trying to find information/photos of a Liberty Transmission, which would have been used by drag racers back in the 70's??
Were they similar in any way to a GM M21 or M22? Or totally a different dog? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]
I have searched without luck online, and I'm not close enough to any shops that might service this kind of thing. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]
Any help will be truly appreciated. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Greg,
In my 69 Camaro Day 2 Street -n- Strip period car, Circa 1970-74 ,
I'm running a DOUG NASH Pro Shifted (Crash Box) M22 gear set, 2:52 in a Stock Muncie aluminum case , Hurst Competition Plus non Super Shifter Mount/rods.
Sounds like as if this is where your inquiry is aimed at. A non fabricated ,altered trans tunnel application. </div></div>

I did not know anyone made a 2.52 gear set with the M22 gearing back in the 1970s? All OE M22 gears were 2.20 ratio.

If you saw an Autogear super case next to the stock GM piece, you'd sent that GM case straight to the trash .

Agreed, the 2 cases are night &amp; day,,,,except in the early/mid 70's they didn't offer a better case than a Muncie....(other than a Pro Stock Doug Nash) my build is true to 1970-74 era pieces,,,,,, &quot;gotta have the right stuff &quot; to an extent.
