D & D Performance GM/Viper T56

[tracy]

Does anyone have experience with this transmission from D & D Performance?

I want a T56 built to Viper specs and I want to bolt it up to a BBC in my 69 Camaro. I currently have a Muncie 4 speed with a new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, etc.. The D & D guys implementation is supposed to bolt right up to my current bell housing and use standard linkage, etc...Would I be better off changing over to a hydaulic clutch setup than sticking with the stock linkage?

Are there any other gotchas that people have seen with this situation that I should be aware of.

Here is the list of specs:

650 lb-ft Torque Capacity

1.125 x 26T GM Input Spline

30T Viper Output Spline

Close Ratio w/ Deep Overdrives(2.66/1.78/1.30/1.00/.74/.50)

Carbon Fibre Blocker Rings

Steel 3-4 Shift Fork

Precision built and blueprinted by D$D technicians

Direct bolt-up to GM Saginaw/Muncie/T10 bell housings

Direct bolt-up to McLeod 8630 series steel bell housings

Transmissions come with a offset shifter (towards driverside)

Thanks,
