I've been thinking of doing a t56 swap, but I won't have the money for the trans for a while. I scour ebay from time to time looking for weird buick parts and lately I've been hunting t56 swap parts. I had come across a cheap quicktime BOP bell but it was labeled to fit a T-10, Richmond or TKO, but the pictures didn't look right. Turns out it was a t56 to BOP bell and it's now mine. Score! And it was cheap. Got the Six Speed Monte pedal, clutch master cylinder mount and a new clutch master cylinder today also. It will still be a while before I can scratch up enough change for a t56 magnum.
Got the rearend finished up and back in the car. I really like it better without all those bars underneath it. It was a real pain to r&r with those bars and not easy to jack up (bars were too low).
Time to put the new axles and rear brakes in.
I ordered tires a couple weeks ago and they should be in next week, but It will still be a couple weeks before the new front wheels come in. The first set wouldn't clear the front calipers.
