Install a Tremec T56 Magnum in your A-body

I would be willing to do that.
I don’t know any of your dimensions etc... but both of my parts might work with modification. Shipping is the only concern. If you want to try my setup, $350 for the top, or $699 for the whole thing, plus shipping which typically has run around $50.
Then you pay the return shipping if it doesn’t work and you need to return it to me? That sounds harsh as I write it, but what are your thiughts? If you have any pics of the trans sitting up in the tunnel.... we could even see if one of the other kits would work better. I’m just thinking out loud. Ideas. Thank you for your interest!!
What does the mount area of the T5 look like? Todd

Hey Todd, so the T5 kit i have from SST uses the stock bolt holes for their lower crossmember. I'd prefer if I could make it work somehow, just using your upper... After further reading, it sounds like your T56 kit uses the stock holes closest to the tunnel but then re-drill the outer holes, to make narrower... is that correct? If so I think we'd have to weld some longer tabs to the unit to use the stock bolt hole location...

Here are a couple photos with the T5 mocked up in my car, note that I do not have the isolator mount installed in these photos, so the trans will sit higher in the tunnel, which is why I'll have to cut the stock upper...

Let me know if the T56 mount you made would be best or if you have another that would be a better fit...

Thanks,

Shane
