Muncie
Over the last couple of years, I’ve scrounged a muncie main case (3851325), tail (3846429), and side cover (3831707) with the intention of having a correct tranny built for my 65 vette someday. Currently, it has a T-10. If it doesn't cost an arm & leg, the day may be near. Can you recommend a vendor?
Thanks,
Bill

Ed Hartnett in Lansdowne, Pa does an EXCELLENT job with Muncies.
He did my '65 trans over the winter and he's also done a lot of trans for other people i know and I've never heard anything other than very positive feedback from his work.

A bit closer to you is also someone in the Virginia Beach area.

Some say the early 65 model Muncies got the 429 tail housing and some say ALL 65 model Muncies had the 684 tail housing.
So far as I know, there has not been a solid resolution to this issue.
And, as additional information (NON-Corvette), SOME cars, such as the Pont GTO did continue to have Muncies until about 1970 with the 429 tail housing (with driver side speedo fitting).

There seems to be a fair amount of debate/discussion about early(429)/(584) late Muncie tail housings for 1965.
Some say the early 65 model Muncies got the 429 tail housing and some say ALL 65 model Muncies had the 684 tail housing.
So far as I know, there has not been a solid resolution to this issue.

Chevrolet New Product manual, Training Program Booklet: published July 1964. (same repeats in the Sept 1964 issue of Chevrolet Service News):
""The Chevrolet four-speed transmission extension housing and main shaft are revised to provide for a right-hand speedometer take-off connection ...... (repeats in another paragraph) The Chevelle, Chevy II, and the Corvette ... four speed transmissions have revised extension housings (also) for the right-hand speedometer drive location.""
It's all Colvin's fault.

It is an early 65 Chevelle vin on this 65 Muncie with a 429 tail housing. Fuel for the controversy?
