Rear axle back on, most of the rear suspension installed - upper/lower trailing arms, rear sway bar, shocks. Rear disc brakes will be installed later on (same with the Lakewood ladder bars we’re keeping on it).

Body is primered up and going into lots and lots of block sanding. Going to be discussing the engine rebuild next week.

Side note, I had been leaning towards a new Tremec 5 speed, but with all the possible mods that comes with it, (driveshaft, new bellhousing, metalwork in the floor) I think I’d rather “stick” with the Muncie.

TKX will fit into an A body no issues; uses the same bellhousing and shifts better than ANY Muncie - much stronger also and you get a good overdrive. You can shorten your existing driveshaft easily and use the C6 yoke.

You will need an offset shifter, plenty available.

Ok, you sold me. I’m going to go with the Tremec 5 speed. I’m guessing what I have is an M20 anyway.
The only transmission parts I have right now is the Muncie that will probably need to be opened up and looked in at the very least, and a bell housing. If all they would need to do is shorten the driveshaft to make it fit, a few extra grand is probably going to be well worth the driving experience and gas mileage by the sounds of it.
