Transmission Parts are in, pics included
Last week we received the T56 Magnum Transmission and Bell Housing. I haven't seen a T56 Magnum posted in the box but it's quite "purposely" built. It's thick cardboard designed to be very tight around the transmission and the UPS guy said 1 more pound and it would have to be shipped by "crate". I can't say enough about Ron at Street Rod Engines/Regal Performance in Texas. Great deal on the the complete engine/electronics/clutch/tranny package and even better yet he was willing to take the "package" price and let me pay for just the tranny now. Kurt has a mock-up LS block and we won't need the engine for many months so it couldn't of worked out better. We're just waiting for the Morrison Headers and then the Engine will be mocked up with the engine mounts fabricated in. The goal is to push the engine back as far as possible to try and get 50/50 weight distribution.
