If it is any help, i have a T56 LT1 gearbox for sale. But, more importantly, i also have a special lightened flywheel, that allows the LT1 box to mate up to an early sbc block (2 piece rear seal). I had to import it special from the states, but have decided to change the direction of my project.(Was going in a capri, and yes i had to cut the transmission tunnel!)Behold wrote:Right time to drag this back up as money is available again!!!
I have been looking at the posts here and can answe rthe sump issue with i have a crossmember right throught the center of where the engine sits so i believe unless i remount the engine forward some more it will fowl most of the designs. but modifying this should not be hard.
As said in austraila there are 5.7v8 versions of the senator but the front subframe is completly different.
Im still toying with just getting an LC diff and hubs as it will bolt straight on and just need to modify the prop. as to the transmision im thinking thats where alot of work will be required to remount the gearbox and widen the tunnel. anyone got the T56 dimensions???
Also have a brand new clutch as well as hydraulic clutch master and slave cylinders modified for a rhd application.
If this is any good, or i can help, just pm me
By the way, the only t56 dimension that springs to mind, is that it is about 30" from belhousing to "stick".
cheers
