We I have been scratching my head on what to do with this T-56, that has caused some "snowball" problems. As stated before with the extended length of the tranny I had to move the engine to the middle holes on the engine mounts. Not a big deal until I tried to fit the sidepipes. I have to cut forward of the stock exit hole, read WAY forward to the point where I might have to cut into the fender flare. My other options is to re-think the mounting of the tranny and then have the driveshaft re-cut. The header flanges clear the wheel well by ~3/8".

This also affects how the metal cooling pipes line up. The lower pipe basically touches the water pump the top kisses the distributor. A bit of bending and some cutting fixed these problems. So yes the T-56 fits but dows cause some other problems.
