For those that choose the T-56, a little hint. Plan way ahead for your speedometer needs. There is NO OEM means to hook up a mechanical or standard electrtical speedometer.

The T-56 uses a built in "Hall effect sender" which is NOT compatible with many aftermarket gauges. Autometer is one company that does make an electronic speedometer that WILL hook right up. Stewart Warner also has an electronic speedometer that you can eventually get to work by setting the Dip Switches correctly. The last option is to buy a full adapter kit, installs in the tail section, which allows you to actually install a 'gear driven' cable. This will allow you to hook up almost any speedometer, mechanical or electrical. Cost is around $350.00.

Gear ratio's: Multiple areas on the web covering the T-56. Almost any gear ratio is available. Have fun...do some research, pick your gears, pick your tire sizes, add in your final drive ratios, 3.55, 4.11's what ever. It's a great time for for us car builders.

Personally I love the '56. We've been trying to destroy one for years...no sucess yet. Build it your way!
