Install a Tremec T56 Magnum in your A-body

Shane, where is the shifter located in comparison to the torsion bar frame area on the floorboard? My A-body kit is straight up, so as long as your shifter is forward of the support, I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t work. Just let me know what you think.
thanks for your interest. 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
