71 vette Question

[olredalert]

-----It could have a super T10 because someone put it in after the fact. For one thing,the 1st gear in a super T10 is real steep. It would go along with the performance nature of an LS6. The car would have a 4:11 or so first gear with a 355 pumpkin. Have your cake and eat it too!!!!........Bill S

Sam,

------Not everyone is a straight shooter,are they? The one thing I can tell you without doubt is that a 71 Corvette did not come from the factory with a super T10. From the lowliest base 350 to the vaunted LS6 all 71 Vettes that had manual transmissions had Muncies! Positively........Bill S

You are correct, no T-10. It's worth a look if priced right, should be a 365 horse motor with lots of torque if it's not an LS6.

I remember at a Australian Corvette nationals one guy had a very hot 63 Rdster. Did huge burnouts on the Go To Whoa. When talking to him later he proudly told me he had a Muncie Super T-10. When I corrected him and told him it was probably a Borg Warner Super T-10 he became abusive, as if I had seriously denigrated his car. He did not have a clue, shame about all the people standing around, who were absorbing his enlightened information.

There is a Corvette God however, and he was pissed. Next time Jr picked up his $75,000 (what the car and all its mods had cost him back in 1988.) Vette from the mechanics he tested out the clutch with a mighty burnout. Car mounted the curb, lept a guard rail, and dropped into a storm water drain. He survived, and quietly parted out his car, never to spoil the Corvette scene again.
If only all life was that fair.
