I found an easy way to check the T56 transmission fit... I printed out the picture of the transmission from the link above. They had a nice picture of the T56 from the top. I then measured the frame rails to determine the angles of the rails. Using another piece of paper I drew a center line down it and drew a cone simulating the frame rails. Then overlayed the paper over the picture of the transmission aligning the center line of my cone with the input/output shaft of the transmission. Was able to move the transmission in and out of the cone to determine exactly where it will hit the frame rails. I also was able to calculate scale of the picture based on all the measurements on the picture and I now have an approximate measurement of where the stick would be in relation to the drive shaft tunnel. The fit was actually very good. It obviously needs to be put as far aft as possible when using the V10 and I haven't accounted for the bellhousing or starter but I'm much happier now knowing where the interference will be.

This brings up another question. This T56 picture is that of a Camaro/Firebird T56. How much different is the Viper T56 dimentionally? Is it the same? Or longer?
