Ordered my swap kit should be here in 2 weeks. It comes with bellhousing, billet fly wheel, twin disc clutch, and the other parts needed to bolt up to the 2jz. I know Grannas Racing offers a kit as well as Suprastore, but the are more pricey than what I got. Grannas uses the same set up just a different clutch and is about 1k more. I ended up going with the original company that offered this kit, Joel uses their bell housing on his kit. I plan on dropping this into my RX7 build. I'll post up pics of the kit when it's in my hands.

Did you order it from the Australian company Castemaine Rod Shop?

I am also in the process of doing the swap.

Not all clutches are same and is more evident on multi-disk clutches (dual / triple / quad) . You get what you pay for. Clutch Master dual and triple cluthces maybe pricier but well proven with the 2JZs.

neat, I wonder how this compares to the 350z trans swap. how much do T56s cost on their own?

estomax, the "T-56" Magnum is vaguely the same transmission by designation but it is really a completely new gearbox from Tremec. It bears closest relation to the Tremec TR6060 6-speed used by many OEMs but even still it is different enough to get its own designation "Magnum".

A regular T-56 6-speed is good but it isn't the same thing internally as a Tremec Magnum and isn't rated anywhere near the same torque. Even though the V160 and V161 Getrags were rated for 350ft-lbs from the factory (conservative official number) the Magnum is rated at a minimum 700ft-lbs CONSTANT torque which is widely viewed to be a conservative rating also. As such, it's now being looked at as the more reasonable alternative to a Getrag swap for 2JZ cars and as a go-to swap for many other makes and models with high horsepower and high torque engines.

The cost for a regular T-56 is less than the cost for a Magnum (and the big brother comes in two versions: a 2.66 ratio and a 2.95 ratio).
