I do not. The M20 is the wide-ratio. The M21 is the close-ratio. The M22 is the close ratio with 20something degree cut gears instead of 40something degree cut gears. This gave it more ability to withstand torque and horsepower but consequently made it sound like a beast, for all those wondering.
The answer is no. I have an M20. It works well right now because the higher starting gear makes the car get into gear more easily due to a mismatched cam meaning the poor 305 doesn't make power right now. As I build up the engine, the transmission may or may not go but it was custom built, only 1,500 miles on it right now despite being older than I am. Should be more than capable enough for now.
Update time: Insurance. It is just impossible to get insurance for the Chevy, but I got it. Called more than 10 places (12 to be exact) for quotes but they all gave me something completely unreasonable or were historic car insurance companies; however, I got a "I can afford and drive it" deal: 600 a year for 100/300 liability. Not bad at all, for a 19 year old in NJ. So, now it's just time to bring it home to Papa Mgrinshpon instead of the house it's been in since forever. See you all on the road in a bit!
