I do not claim to be a transmission expert and could be wrong but the "real" rock crushers had straight cut gears....not helical cut gears. I believe they were first released by GM in 1969 or 1970.

I had one in my 1970 Chevelle SS 454-450HP LS6 car. I bought it new. The Rock Crusher was very noisy due to the straight cut gears.

Maybe someone in the past (it has been 30 years) put all the goodies in a early case maybe?

The m22 was available as early as 1965 in Corvetts

I had a 71 GTO with a M22 "rock crusher". This was an absolutely stout transmission. Had a distinctive "whine" due to the slanted gears.

M22 had straight cut gears, all other Muncies had helical cut gears. The straight cut gears gave the M22 it's different sound. Other Muncies were quite compared to the M22.

Many people have guesses about deciphering M-22s. Like grooves in the input shaft and numbers and etc etc...
The only way to tell is to open the case and measure the gear angle from the shaft centerline. M-20 and M-21 have 45 degree gears and M-22 have 22.5 degree gears.
Fresh M-22s are going for $1300-$1600
