I have owned this car since 1988, orig motor was missing when I bought it. But I am 100% sure it was a big block car orig from the factory, 90% sure the trans and rear end are orig to the car.

M21? Are you sure?
Do you know the trans or axle codes?

Thanks!

Car is in storage I will have to try and get the both the codes off the trans and axle, I have a spare muncie and I am almost sure when I did research on what I had in the car and what I had for a spare, one was a M20 and the other was a M21.
I will update as soon as I can

Ok I have a small update for my car, I was incorrect and it does NOT have a M21 but infact is a M20, it has 2 rings on the input shaft
I dug this out of my storage area and it looks to be the matching transmission to the car VIN is 124378N378371 and the trans has stamping numbers 18N37837, also has P8A15 stamped on it
case has a 3925660 casted on the side, tailshaft has 3846429 casted on it, the side cover has a metal tag that I could not make exactly the numbers on it but looks to be 3915077

Extension housing ( tail shaft) for 1968 is # 3857584.  Colvin, page. 285 - 286.

quote from a user on another site on the metal tag 3915077  http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/306322/2

That's a Muncie 4spd. wide ratio 2:52:1 as well.
Used originally in:
*1968 Passenger series w/8.15 X 15 tires w/3:55 axle AND when 396cid or 427cid. equipped.
*1968 Corvette w/o Posi or 3:55 axle.

And Recommended replacement in:
*1965-67 Passenger & Corvettes when NOT close ratio equipped.
*1965 Corvette w/o Spcl. Hi-Perf or Fi.

It was soon superceded in 1970 by Muncie #3964507 for same applications.
