T56 Swap kits....
Idk if this has been posted but I was looking for R154 stuff for my 1UZ then came across this link.
T56 Swap Kits

I'm thinking of emailing them to get more info and see if this is still avail. If so for the price and all you get it may be a good option.

I think it would be cheaper to go with the V160...

The appeal that it was supposedly cheaper than a V160 and stronger than a R154 but with the adapter kit above the cost is well into V160 price range.

4k for a t56 kit that doesn't even include a t56?!?!?!?
Used t56's can be found for under 1k used but paying 5k for a trans good for MAYBE 650hp is not a good deal at all..
I wish someone would piece together a more price effective kit. Someone was selling the bellhousing adapter for less than 300 a while ago. Those other bits can't add up to THAT much more even with a twin plate clutch.

actually now that I think about it, that kit costs more than my ls1/t56 did with shipping...if you want a t56, order it with an ls1 and do the swap...otherwise, just stick with the v160.

a T56 is not nearly as sweet as a getrag v160/161...
not even close.
google image search for the internals of both of them. the getrag is a total beast.
