Today is a good day
It's Friday... I have the next two days off... and the last of the parts I need to continue the T56 install showed up on the door step
Today I received the billet aluminum spacer that goes in between the T56 Magnum and the Quick Time bell housing. This spacer was needed to allow for the extra thickness of the ZR-1 Twin disc clutch. The spacer has dowel pins and fit up perfectly to the QT bell and the T56 Mag trans. The spacer is 0.89" thick.
I checked all the dimensions with the spacer installed, and the play between the clutch forks and the hydraulic throwout bearing is perfect... and the input shaft on the transmission will slide into the pilot bearing on the crank about 3/4".
The dowels pins align the spacer to the bell housing. The dowel pins on the transmission align with holes on the other side of the spacer. The spacer is designed to keep all of the parts in alignment.
Here is a shot of the GM ZR-1 hydraulic throwout bearing with a remote bleeder (4ft long) attached. The guy that did all my plumbing for the dry sump pump made up the remote bleeder from parts.
Earlier in the week I received the kit to convert from the mechanical Z-Bar clutch set up to the Hydraulic clutch.
The remaining issues to deal with will be the tunnel mods and cross member mods. The spacer will push the trans back an inch so I'm pretty sure the crossmember won't fit.
