Gentlemen,
Let me jump back in here for a minute. I have heard from at least two CR's owners who put the T-56 in without any or very lilttle trouble.
I had to ponder this for days and finally have come to a conclusion. The reason we have to do so much modification to the inner frame rails is because we set the transmission so far back in the frame! Two more cylinders worth!
Since we've only installed the T-56 with our Viper engines it places the tail shaft almost all the way back to the emergency brake bracket. (Our driveshafts are right around 17 inches long!)
So...I guess I should let the guys that have installed the T-56 behind and 8 clyinder tun with this thread.
DV...June is soooo close
