Watched numerous times too! Reminds me of my first car! A '62 Impala with a built 327, Muncie 4 spd, and a 4:56 rear...what a wild ride it was!!! God I miss it!!!
You are one of the most precise gear jammers I've seen. At first it was so perfect I thought it was an inline shifter. NOPE! H-pattern. You rock! I LOVE the sound of the stone crusher. I had a 70 SS 454 Chevelle that had one and I miss that sound so much. Thanks for the ride!!
AWESOME!!! Great Vid!!! I am a BIG Gearjammers fan. I just wish I was living in the South again so I could go to the races. Hope to be back in a few years. I will be going to these races.
We had a big block Nova with a verdigate shifter lt had 2 rings that you pulled up to shift into first and the rest of the gears you just slammed straight back and forth. Reverse you put the shifter in neutral and put a separate small shifter in reverse .slamming gears is just so satisfying .
That looks like probly one of the most fun to drive drag cars in the world. The four speed makes it so much cooler than an auto, especially powerglides. So cool reeling in the car in the other lane. I used to scoff at 1/8th mile drag racing but if I had a 1/8th track within hour and a half drive I'd do it. I live in southern CT so English town, Lebbanon Vally and New England Dragway are all about 2 and a half hour drive from home.
I have a 70' nova, street legal, was a super pro class winner in the day! Boring automatic, trans brake, two step, throttle stop etc, ran 10: 80s @120 m.p.h. I'm a sick shift guy,,, so I converted it to a super t-10 scattershild, ram 850 h.p. clutch! GUESS WHAT' 10: 49 @ 129 M.P.H. AND IT'S CONSISTENT AS HELL' I NEVER LET OFF BETWEEN GEARS, AND SHIFT @ 8-K. Wheels up! I've owned many of stick cars over the year's, and I feel like a kid again everytime I drive my stick cars!
I wish I was there or driving your 55. Was that 3 wheelies or 2? Do you remember what ET on this video and what engine too? Thank you I was in behind your camera! My heart is racing just little. For 4 years I had drag racing the middle 1970s. I loved that! So Thank you for your posting your video!
Holy Shny-kee Batman! M22 and someone that knows how to use it. It doesn't get much better than this! Great video. Do you have an exterior/strip view of this as well?
can you please comment on what flywheel, clutch and Trans combo you are running in this awesome shoebox. I'm currently setting up a 4 speed and have a Mcleod RXT twin disc with a Muncie M20, bad slipping on launch and high RPM any help would be much appreciated!!
Vibration near the end of the run - you need to check your drive shaft balance and U-joints. I had that once and nearly tore the car apart when the rear u-joint let go near the end of the 1/4 mile. Drive shaft loop didn't do any good.

love it when a four speed car sees nothing but sky on the launch.
watched 1;30 on about 20 times!!! love the sound of the harmonics when it shifts to final gear!! bravo!!!!
yes indeed that final gear sounds purrrrrfect awesome
shes pullin hard!!!
Sounds like driveshaft maybe slightly out of Balance .I had the same problem
MAN was that a great start, and a perfect run!

After watching hundreds of drag race vids I found my favorite.
Sweet noise to my ears! Thanx for posting!
I would not think A M22 Muncie would hold that abuse.
that was awesome! Nothing touches the rush you feel in a stick shift drag car comin off that two step and rowin them! nice!
Old school racing all the way. Love it brings back memories.
Thanks for the ride brother.
DAMN.. a LOT faster than i thought i was going to be for being so quiet.. VERY impressive..
AWESOME!!! Great Vid!!!

i love seeing these things being brought back to life
If you've never been to a gasser meet, you really should. Those pedal to the metal 1/8th mile runs are just wild.

love the shifting, hit second in the air.
Doesn't get much better then that folks. You can feel the energy
brings back the days of modified production at E-town
What’s e town?
That’s wicked man I’m a ford man but love those 55 chevys especially when they can run like yours that’s got to be a 6.20-1/8
Hotter than a four balled tomcat.
nothin more finer than a '55 chev, but man, you just made it even sweeter. must be alot of fun to drive
Awesome Killer Vid ... Thanks for the Ride .
I had a 62 impala, 3sp over drive, 283 bored out to 301, and 3 dueces. She was quick, and fun to drive.
Dam that's one bad ass chevy
Gotta love them old school in line vertical gate shifted cars....thats my idea of a RACE CAR.
Thanks for the inspiration. ready to go manual now!

TOTAL BAD ASS
Sick ass video 👍

Kool beans
Bogged in 4th LOL. That thing's a BEAST!
can you please comment on what flywheel, clutch and Trans combo you are running in this awesome shoebox. I'm currently setting up a 4 speed and have a Mcleod RXT twin disc with a Muncie M20, bad slipping on launch and high RPM any help would be much appreciated!!
By the whine, I'd say the trans is an M22. Don't know what clutch or flywheel he's running.
If the 20 has the big countershaft pin it may hold up I've broke em all so far but the m21 double ring is pretty darn tough.
How do you like the rat twin disc been pondering on purchasing that one myself
That was fucking awesome
Hotrod741- that’s what I said too. Agreed and sorry I’m late.
Tuff 💪💪
HELL YEA!!!
FUCKING AWESOME!
@1:28
what makes you say it would be a m22? just curious,,,
Rock crushin!
Who needs Viagara when you have that.
Crowd Pleaser?
I did enjoy that !!!!
It’s basically me when I drive my truck lmao
Wonder how fast it ran
