I found a pic of someone that had the adaptor plate already and had it for sale on SF
Now I was reading around and some guys had posted saying that the MUSTANG T56 has overdriven gears for 5th and 6th thus making it pretty much kaka for higher speed. BUT the Aussi guys say that you MUST use the CAMARO T56. Is it because of what has been said about the Mustang T56 to be true ? Is it possible that other Chevy type T56's have this weird 5th and 6th ?

I think the mustang one they said something was cable driven. pretty much most parts on the mustangs are not as good as the ones they put on chevys and other cars.
Camaro t56 sounds good to me, and that ad says the viper one works too. to me this is great news.
*edit* the difference is that the camaro is concentric and the mustang one is not (like your friend said on page 2).
i found this info helpful to understand what the means:

note the viper has a longer input shaft than all the other T56's, but it can be swapped out with the old style (see post 2). not really sure which length we need.. lol

I'm new to the board, and I like this thread, very full of options for us all. However, being a T56 can be had for as low as $1800 brand new, wouldn't the cost to adapt the bell housing, custom flywheel and clutch, and a custom drive shaft put it all overboard of the $3500 for a used V160 or maybe even the $5500 brand new price of a V160? I love the T56 gearbox cause it has a lot of aftermarket products and gear sets, but for those pushing the 650HP 600 FT/LB torque I would not recommend this box. I have seen them snap under that kind of power.

Besides the fact of it being garbage, why spend 3k+ for a tranny swap that can only hold 550hp?
Get the v160.
The v160 is known to hold upwards of 1300hp stock. This really is a no brainer guys.
