AMP Performance/DD/Summit all sells adjustable xmembers for this swap for under 150 bucks. New Bellhousing for 5.0/5.8.Reverse lockout harness wired into your brake light relaythe stock shifter on the T-56 is pretty short, however you can get a pro 5.0 or a Tri-Ax as well and they are nice. i have the Tri-Ax and i love it. that is basically it, the viper spec trannies are more expensive, due to them supposedly being able to handle more Tourqe, but there are many guys out there who are running 500+ hp mustangs with T-56'sThe warranty from Tremec is decent, they give you a 180 day warranty from the day of intall/purchase that replaces anything. From my understanding is you take it to a mechanic, preferably a ford dealership and they service/diagnose then send the bill directly to Tremec. Not a bad deal eh?Overall this is a great swap, and the DIYer can do it in a weekend with some help from a friend. Feel free to add anything that i have missed :happydrunks:You can get complete swap kits including all the above parts from DD performance, AMP performance and TTC automotive, which is the easiest way to go. Unless you find that awesome craigslist deal on a tranny and want to get everything seperate.</blockquote>
