Me Too...…..

I worked for New Venture Gear in Muncie, In in the 90s. We had a SS454 That we gutted the drivetrain, We put one of our newly developed NV5600 6 speed trans in it and coupled it with an all wheel drive transfer case. You could run 65 mph at about 1100 rpm all day long. Checked it out of the pool...
