Howdy OMT, Your '64 sounds like it's running great. Yes, isn't it fun to row through the gears with a M-22? I dig it too. I ended up breaking my first M22 in my 500 hp Judge while driving on the street with BF Goodrich Comp TA radials. 2nd gear just went WHAM at one point. Upon further inspection, it was revealed that all of the 0-80 MPH 1-2-3 shifts I had done on the street practicing for the dragstrip took their toll. The tail shaft was bent to sh!T too. Oh well
My current M-22 is a built supercase muncie, 2.52 first gear ratio, and gusseted tailshaft housing, etc. So far, it's holding up.
