SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan

[69 Post Sedan]

Just another update. I am going to run my block and use 402 +.040 pistons.

Gonna have it running on pump gas and also run........with bigger cube motors!

Also I am having the trans changed from a M22 to a M22W...which I should have done in the first place...oh well!

What's an M22W?

M22 "wide ratio" instead of close ratio?

Basically I am changing the 4 speed gear ratio from: 2.20 / 1.64 / 1.28 / 1.00

to: 2.52 / 1.88 / 1.46 / 1.00

It will be a lot better on the street and out of the hole at the strip.

Plus the gears are made of stronger material than a typical M20 and they are machined at a 20 degree helix angle on the gearset as opposed to a 30 degree angle.

If my math is correct it will make my 3.73 rear gears feel like 4.26 in 1st changing from a 2.20 to a 2.52 first gear.

Will the Italian Gears shell on 3rd too? I heard of 2 people that did but didn't know if it was BS.

They are the Italian gears made by Maserio.
