Discussion Forum - Northstar Chevelle Club

So I could'nt help myself I saw this on craigslist and had to have it. It is a richmond 5 speed. This is the 1:1 5th gear unit not the overdrive. It has a 3.27 first gear which will get it off the line nicely. This will work perfect with the 3.08 8.5 rear end I want to put in the chevelle. It is brand new the guy said he bought it mocked it up in his car but ended up takng it back out and went a different direction. It came with a Long brand shifter and brand new clutch. This is a direct replacment for a muncie it has the same bellhousing bolt pattern and driveshaft length. It uses a t-400 output shaft so I will have to change it but I need to have my driveshaft shortened for the other rear end anyway.

Let’s see 3.27 1st and 3.08 in the back, that’s like 4.10 coming out of the hole, be ready to shift and steer back to centerline; should be a gas to drive with a nice small block.
