[QUOTE="olympic, post: 15754853, member: 168598"] Made a little more progress on the T56 Magnum swap: Strange chromoly slip yoke, pinion yoke and HD U-joints arrived! If I have to shorten the driveshaft anyways I might as well get rid of the weak stock flange yoke! [ATTACH=full]1447673[/ATTACH] Countersunk the bolts in the shifter for trans tunnel clearance. I planned to do the same for the forward mounting cover but the bolts were a different thread and I didn't feel like driving back to the fastener store so I just ground them down. I also had to massage the trans tunnel a bit just forward of the shifter hole. [ATTACH=full]1447674[/ATTACH] Put a 7/8" frost plug in the mechanical speedometer hole. [ATTACH=full]1447675[/ATTACH] Clutch arm and TOB installed. Tremec has revised the front area of the trans as the arm fits perfect. You no longer have to grind the trans and clutch arm for clearance and the stock pivot stud looks like it will work just fine. [ATTACH=full]1447676[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1447677[/ATTACH] Nothing like taking a cut-off wheel to your brand new $4500 trans! :eek: I had to cut these 2 pointy bits off and grind down a tab for clearance. [ATTACH=full]1447678[/ATTACH] Tried to get it bolted up today but no joy, I think the clutch alignment is off. I'll re-align it and try again tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
