"...if that M22 is a real 66 I would be posting the numbers to try to get the drive train back with the original car..."

Exactly!.

The odds Andy of that vette still being alive some where is good. I know back in the day not even you and I were cutting up 66 corvettes like we did with so many others. DAAAAAAAAAAA. I still have nightmares now over some.

Wow didnt know how rare these cars were.I was just going to put the drivetrain in my Camaro.I will ask the guy if he still has the car.Also sorry if my question was not clear on the transmission.I was just saying in reference to it might having a designation letter C as the 69'S had.I would not know how else to determine if it was a M22 or not.Thanks for all the response & help I will let everyone know the outcome Mahalo Irvin

There was a brown or maroon mid-year Vette under a tarp near Tripler hospital a few years ago. Has been there quite a while (10 years or more). Knocked on the door and the lady said it was her son's car and he was going to restore it. Couldn't see much under the tarp, but I belive it was a '65 or '66 if I recall correctly. Might be worth checking out.

If this turns out to be a '66 427 and you buy to re-sell, please PM me with the details. I'd be interested depending on dates.

Thanks

OBTW... the M22 will make noise whether it is a small or large output shaft... it has nothing to do with the shaft... it is the straight cut gears inside the case that make the NOISE!

No comments about the shaft size guys...

Both my my M22 make noise like a 747 jet screaming in first gear and I do it on purpose especially driving in first gear in town. Love it

Hey guys Thanks for all of your helpful knowledge.Well I spoke to the guy today to try & get more information but he is not willing to move on it & just keeps telling me to come on saturday just like we planned and look for myself.I am going for sure to check it out.I have a question still about how to tell if it is a real 66 M22.I know I had a M20 from a 66 chevy of some sort because I remember it having a 6 in the sequence P6M30A could this be right or just a miss print.I know I've heard someone say that the letter sequence started in 69.Also I have not looked at alot of transmission gears is it easy to tell the straight cut gears M22 from the regular M21 & M20 Gears.Thanks again for all the help Irvin

Weren't the 66 L72 M22 cars the forerunners to the L88's?
Yenko raced a 66 L72 M22... didn't he?
