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!
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?
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!
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!!
love it when a four speed car sees nothing but sky on the launch.
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!!!
MAN was that a great start, and a perfect run!
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
I would not think A M22 Muncie would hold that abuse.
After watching hundreds of drag race vids I found my favorite.
Sweet noise to my ears! Thanx for posting!

DAMN.. a LOT faster than i thought i was going to be for being so quiet.. VERY impressive..
Wow what a ride that was! Very nice thanks brother!!!
Thanks for the ride brother.

Awesome Killer Vid ... Thanks for the Ride .
i love seeing these things being brought back to life
Doesn't get much better then that folks. You can feel the energy

nothin more finer than a '55 chev, but man, you just made it even sweeter. must be alot of fun to drive
Hotter than a four balled tomcat.
Dude I love your car! She rocks!
If you've never been to a gasser meet, you really should. Those pedal to the metal 1/8th mile runs are just wild.
Old school racing all the way. Love it brings back memories.

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
Gotta love them old school in line vertical gate shifted cars....thats my idea of a RACE CAR.
Fast car he knows how to drive it
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the inspiration. ready to go manual now!
That was fun thanks. I can't wait for spring now LOL

This reminds me of the end scene from the movie Two-Lane Blacktop but much much faster.
Which transmission is this please?
this demonstrates why old American muscle is king
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?

"How sweet it is"
TOTAL BAD ASS
What's the drivetrain/engine combo? Don't have to go into great details but would like to know for a 56 Buick build . PM me if you would. Thx
Tell ya mine Dan, 62 chevy 406-525hp, N24 muncie, 9''-325 gear
Badass
According to the timer, looks like a 6.5 second run. FAST!
It’s basically me when I drive my truck lmao
YEAH!!
FUCKING AWESOME!
Wonder how fast it ran
1/8 or 1/4?
WOWSERS
That was fucking awesome
Hotrod741- that’s what I said too. Agreed and sorry I’m late.
This car is moving out, i would say it runs in the high 5... 1/8 mile
sweet in car video
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
Fuck yeah
Damn !! ... Wheels up, power shifting and and run that guy down ! ... Doesn’t get any finer ..
Crowd Pleaser?
Damn !
cool
This dude can shift!
Bill Capone...Yeah,,especially since its a in-line shifter and not H-pattern....
Nothing to it
Just your everyday grocery getter : NOT!!
Zygote dam son that car just about jumped off the ground
holy shit!!!!
Lil 55.
