Hello, Sspan.

Does your T56 Magnum sit beheind a small block Ford 302 or 351?

If so, I would like to hear what gearbox, clutch housing, pilot bearing and throw-out bearing and part number you use, and if the gearbox ingoing axle had to be machined and modified.

Hope you'll pass on this information.

RS

Capri,

If you're interested, I can provide all the correct part numbers for this kind of installation, without having to go to a special billet fork and slave cylinder.

my t56 sits behind a 429/460
I think Blykins there says that he has a tremec guy who can alter the face of the T56 transmission for the right clearances.

Since I ultimately decided to go with an external slave cylinder, instead of an internal hydraulic TOB, I sent my bellhousing to Forte to see if he can mount the slave cylinder and make a fork as well. That way, ideally, I get back a bolt-on-item that gets me the right clearances
