I bought all of my own stuff. I bought my T56 Magnum from Jegs and my clutch from Ram. Any authorized seller has to sell the T56 Magnum for the same price. The other stuff is where you have to be careful and get your savings.

American Powertrain gave me a great deal on my T56 mag and all the goodies to go along with it and all responses were quick for me.

I have used Hurst Driveline Conversions and American Powertrain. Do yourself a favor and go with Hurst Driveline Conversions. They know their stuff. They are very professional and will give you a packet with all the instructions for the conversion. You will also get a receipt listing all the parts and cost of each part.
When I bought from American Powertrain I got the wrong parts for my conversion that they recommended. Also had to pay for return shipping and restocking fees.
Not trying to be a hater, but I lost alot of time and money. Never was able to get a receipt listing the parts I bought. So I can't say how much I payed for each item. Not a big deal but when things started getting fishy I wanted to know what they were charging me for.

This is just my experience

Lots of interest in the T56 Magnum it seems. Sounds like a group buy to me

Thanks for all of your input Gents. Pulled the trigger on a close ratio T-56 Magnum from Hurst Drivelines today.

Good call. I just swapped mine and got some miles on it for the first time today. Thanks to the .63 overdrive I now have a usable 6th gear with 3.73s.

If you ever need tech support make sure to get a hold Jim at Hurst Drivelines. He is a wealth of knowledge and knows every little facet of how to install and operate a t-56.

Do you happen to have Jim's email at Hurst Drivelines? I have some questions about my swap. I am going to be converting a 700R4 to a T56 Magnum. Just wondering what kind of quotes Im going to get for that, etc. Thanks!
