Richmond 5 Speed - Good Street Transmission?

[CamaroNOS]

Hello gentlemen,

I require some input from the 4 speed gurus here as to what is the better choice transmission.....the Richmond Road Race 5 Speed or the Muncie M22.

The vehicle is a full weight 69 Camaro with a 302 that revs 7500 and is street driven locally 90% and drag strip driven 10%.

The reason is I have a buddy who has both transmissions available to me for the same price and the Richmond is brand new and comes with their "Long" shifter (with a 2.24 first gear - not the stock 2.77 gear) and the Muncie is 100% rebuilt with a mid-plate.

Will the Richmond slide right into the tunnel area or will I have to massage it? Will I be able to use the same factory shifter hole?

Based on both transmissions, what rear end gear would be best for either transmissions?

What would be the best slick tire size for the set up, a 29" tall?
