Working on that right now I will let you know once the bellhousing and mounts are done. The tranny has to be bolted up and once that is complete then we can work on the clutch and flywheel combos. might be able to use the v160 pressure plate and flywheel and GM clutch disk. But as of now that is speculation I will have update soon.

Dr. Evils transmissions can uild the traynny to handle more power! But as of now they can handle over 400ft lbs of torque. The viper version is good for over 600 hp. Dr. Evil trannys are about $1500.

Also heard of a Hewland Sequential that might be a V160 replacement in power holding, cost, and it's sequential. SO the specs of that tranny will be up soon and the cost.

Sequential gearbox for less then a V160 swap that handles the same power levels.

if can make it work...it will be sweet....now i'm not sure if some of you guys know the difference between LT1 T56 and LS1 T56, i mean their price are about the same...which is NOT cheap...for a nice used one in working condition..looking at about $800-$1k, the newer LS1 T56 uses hydro setup......which come in all 98-02 F-body.....and some of you asked if it will last you.....YES those damn thing are strong...specially the newer T56, the older one LT1 T56 not as strong as the newer ones....so if any one of you thinking about going with the kit....go with the LS1 T56....good luck with the kit...

ps...we have T56 in stock sometimes...but not at this moment, because we dealing with tons of F-body cars....so if you need one for sure, let us know, we can add u to the list....thanks
