My experiences have been with M21s and M22s, but it's kind of like I said before - all depends on how you use it. I would assume you'd want to use all that power from time to time. M22s have been known for their strength as well as the whine they make. I've been pretty had on M21s and they have always performed.

Hi Ron...thank for the quick reply. I'd LIKE to be able to drive it on road trips, but most of what I do will be in town with infrequent trips to the strip. A 5 or 6 speed would be best, but the older 4-speeds, Muncies and such aren't terribly expensive. Overdrive would be awesome for mileage, but I'm willing to make some sacrifices to keep the costs down. I just fell in love with driving a muscle car with a stick... you're DRIVING the car, not just being a passenger! ;) Would a Muncie M20 hold up to that kind of hp? I'm not sure of the ratings on the older trannies.
