For you guys running 4 speeds, what are you using for a trans, and are you still using the 2 piece drive shafts?
Drag Racer Question
- Thread starter SuperStocker409
- Start date
G-force 101A. Victory Performance 2 piece w/poly carrier. Been running ds for 7 years.
I think most are running either the G-force or Jerico. Driveshaft? As long as you upgrade to something better than that stock 2-piece , it shouldn't make much difference if its 1 or 2 piece design. Inland empires 2- piece like Brian's (MRHP) is good. Personally I run a custom made 1- piece.
Can the Gforce be run with a bench seat & the original 4-speed hole in floor ?
Is it streetable ?
Is it streetable ?
Yes I am running a bench seat, yes, and yes it is street able. You have to castarate the tunnel a little for the linkage. It's worth the change. Thanks Dan. I'm the a$$hole that sold Brian the T-10 that lasted 4 runs. I ran a beefed up t-10 for several years before taking out 1st gear at the line my first 409 run at Great Bend. Look at the beef of the gears in a T-10 compared to a g-force. I was told by one of the Longs at g-force they had never had a first gear failure....pay me now or pay me later. Is this for street, track, or both?

Yes streetable not sure on the hole thou they have different shifter you might need to callthem
G101a here. Mid 10s and no issue though I did eventually upgrade to an 18 spline input because the 26 spline was just starting to twist a little. One piece shaft. I believe the g101a shares the same basic dimensions as a ST10. I 3rd the streetable part.
I hear a saginaw is good too

Right now, I’ve only got a Muncie. I know it won’t hold up to abuse. Was thinking about the autogear with steel mid plate. Don’t really want to butcher my new floor.
I bought a Inland Empire 2-piece drive shaft. Don’t remember the O.D. Of the tubes, but they are HUGE. Not happy with the clearance on the X.
Car is not finished yet.
And, yes, my car will see the street & strip.

61 Belairbubbletop Call Midwest Muncie. I believe his name is Jeff he built the Autogear that is in the 70 Nova with 620 hp and torque for days. It fits in the tunnel just fine. Its been like 8 years so the name Jeff might be wrong. Been a flawless trans.
Hell I wish the 62 made that kinda power.

Another one to try is Riverside Gear in Mi. The have a Muncie Autogear M23. Looks pretty tough.
Jerico DR4 with a 1 piece driveshaft. 11.60 at 117 mph. I have a vertical gate shifter bolted to the Jerico.

I run a drag race version of a Doug Nash 5 speed with a torsion bar in the counter shaft. It is an outdated transmission but it works flawlessly. I built a new mount for the Long pistol grip shifter that moves it forward. The shifter hole in the floor is only about 1/2” larger than the factory sized hole.
The driveshaft is a 2 piece Inland Empire with poly bearing and 1350 joints. I am very unhappy with the driveshaft, it shakes like a wet dog.
Best et so far is 11.18

Thanks guys,
Ran a sagawho?? Ummm ya NO, Jerico is literally in my Back Yard here in Concord so I may pay them a visit, and with the NASCAR shops around here finding a one piece shaft should be cake walk in the dark

DR4 no longer available
That's what I've been told. I was also told Jerico is no longer making replacement parts but there are lots of parts still out there for the DR4.
