t56 info?

[sn95gtvert]

going to be putting a t56 in this this spring for a friend along with a 306 eldelbrock victor jr's port n polish all braced up inside e303 cam 1.7 roller rockers and some powerdyne boost action. anyone know what all is to be expected with the t56 swap? where to get a cross member and the size of drive shaft?

custom driveshaft and specific yoke
custom transmission crossmember
bell
the t56 shifter

yea the quicktime bell, the crossmember you can goto a ford dealership and order one for a 03-04 cobra with brackets and will just have to slightly modify the brackets. call up D+D performance.

Any specific reason your doing a 56 over a TKO?

Probably the easiest way would be to call D and D performance and see what they recomend. Would be alot less headaches than piecing stuff together.

its my friends car, we built it and the t5 wasnt doing well with the motor and 4.10's so a double overdrive t56 seemed in order. he picked up a slightly used one from a vette or maro he has the mcloud adapter plate and clutch kit maybe a flywheel. i dont know if he will need a starter or not.

right now its kinda setup for a road course car, kmember heavy duty a arms frpp spring tokeco shocks and so on.

i do have to comment that after driving that car with that hood i dislike the cal's now. love the look but cant stand driving with one.

I got my everything needed from d&d. You still use the stock cross-member and they will sell you brackets to move it back about 6''. Also got their aluminum driveshaft. The entire project went together without much drama. If you need a shifter, get a pro 5.0. For the bell, I got a quicktime. It was a very nice piece. Non of the problems that come with getting a lakewood.
