Matt has a very strong argument about that 4 speed he needs to get on here. He says he doesn't even make it to fourth gear on the freeway.

I had a HD toploader in my 68, but destroyed it on a freeway on-ramp one day. I had a TKO installed, which was the best $ I ever spent on that car. Short tires, short gears, and no overdrive gets really old, fast.

Sorry but the M22 "rock crusher" is a pos. The cases are known for splitting under harsh conditions. The super T10 is a much better trans but is still not as strong as the Top Loader. The strongest 4spd ever made arguably, is the Mopar 18 spline A833 "Hemi 4spd". They still sell an adapter kit so you can install one in place of that hand grenade pos "pebble basher"
