m22 muncie carnage (pics) I know it's not on an fbody, but thought you guys would get a kick out of these. This tranny is...er, was in my '85 swb truck behind a mild 355 small block (~300hp/385tq). Guess the old "rockcrusher" just couldn't hand it. 
Only had 12k miles on it.....and I was granny shifting when it went!! 
Bah....it needed a couple new syncros anyway.

No, the M22 gears have less pitch than the M20, 21. They are not straight. Straighter, but not straight. That is not an M22 pictured.
Go here and look half way down the page for a picture comparing M20/21 vs. M22 gears. http://www.camaros.org/trans.shtml
