[QUOTE="Black02GT, post: 15490799, member: 23818"] Just a thought since I saw you post in the buy/sell section, I wouldn't be limiting yourself to the Cobra driveshaft if your going to shorten it. I used a FRPP aluminum shaft with good results, which ever you can get easier. I had a local shop shorten it and balance for <$100. The swap isn't bad, it was my first R&R of a transmission and was able to do it on stands without much hassle. Wiring was not an issue except having to add a connector for the reverse lockout since I had a GT transmission harness, lengths were fine though. Yes, it's the front two bolts (passenger side more so) that are the issue, I used the hammer method since it's in a V6 anyway. Not 100% sure how thick the plate on the bottom of the shifter is to machine but someone in my magnum thread ([URL]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/t56-or-t56-magnum-opinions.1084959/[/URL]) said they were able to just use lower profile bolts. As for the cross-member, depending on your budge, I was highly impressed with the quality of the Stiffler's piece. Granted it was an easy choice for me since I didn't have a T56 cross-member to begin with. Can't help you with the slip yoke though, re-used mine from the TKO 600 not 100% the brand anymore since it's been ten years. Good luck on the swap, not a bad project at all especially for someone with your knowledge. Sorry I don't have more specifics, mostly replied cause I'm bored out of my mind at work right now. :) [/QUOTE]
