A Tremec WILL bolt up to a factory 5.0 bellhousing. But like mentioned before, when you take your right foot OFF at the ankle, that Lakewood Scatter shield will seem like a good idea. Don't play "I shoulda" with that kinda stuff man. AIN'T WORTH IT!!!

Plan on playing games with clutches, cuz the input splines on a TKO are different, but so are they for the T56, as well as the output shafts, so plan on a driveshaft yolk as well.

I'd go TKO-600 from my pal Walt (1-800-771-6843) at Pro Motion Performance (shameless plug, but I'm SOLD on him).

If it has a clutch, WALT will tell you what you need to do. Plain and simple.

Only difference between a T56 and a "viper" T56, is ratio's. Nothing about strength.

T56=6 speed
TKO=5 speed

It's as simple as that.
