CRG site says M21 close ratio 4 speed only available in L34,Z28,L78,L89. Refers to M20 only in LM1.

We'll need to ask Kurt, but I *think* that is old info? It also says that you could only get M20 in a SS350 as well, and I thought there were recent documented SS350's with M21's? Correct me if I am wrong. I can almost swear that I had one (remember the black LM1 with the austin powers shag red carpet?) with the M21 in it several years ago, I remember becuase of the "short" first gear I thought it was a M22, but with the help some guys at camaros.net it was identified as a M21 (which I think the M22's were still limited to BB cars?). Not 100%, it was several years ago!
Of course, I also never looked for a VIN stamp, so it could have been a service replacment or later add on.
What is odd about the LM1's (from the CRG article) is that they got the smaller Z28 clutch instead of the SS350, and many of the LM1's have the 4 leaf springs (from my observations) although I have had two with 5 leaf springs) like many Z's.
Then of course, even though there was no badging, the LM1's got the SS350 style chrome Air Cleaner.

Kurt, any clarification?

Bob, do you remember anything about the LM1's from back in the day? Did the car that Joe race get ordered specifically for the LM1 options, or was that just chance?
