I bought my Dorman MC off Amazon and it was aluminum.

Mark,

When you have a chance, could you please post some pics of your roll bar install? From what I see in past pictures, looks like you have a removable harness bar, and the down bars go through to the trunk have smaller off shoots that tie in to the shock cross member. Do those happen to line up with the top of the coil over shocks? Could you provide any insight to your thought process and design of it? Plan on running door bars?

Thanks as always!

John

I called Dorman tech dept. today and gave him the part # listed by Mark and they told me that it is plastic and has been plastic for at least 7 years. Not sure what to think.

Apparently the secret is to order it from Summit Racing on the west-coast... Sparks, NV.

The description on Summit said "plastic", but this is what I got

Mark,

I don't think you've told us about your transmission? What clutch are you going to run and what mods are done to it to help it survive from all that power and your driving style?

I went to the Centerforce DYAD clutch on the last 4 builds. Low pedal effort, easy to modulate and holds the power if you break it in properly. It also has a good hi RPM reserve when installed with the Centerforce throw out bearing. Their throw out bearing give a bit more travel and make red line shifts super clean.

No mods to the T56? Are you running the Super Magnum?

I had D&D Performance tuned up my T56 Magnum. Their shop is 5 miles from my house and they are great to deal with.

Off memory replaced all the nylon sliders with brass and added better synchronizers where needed.

I also have 6th gear swapped to a 0.5 ratio to make cruising on the highway at 80 mph at around 1840 rpm.
