I know I don't know your answers. Not sure that anybody on here will.
I'd suggest you call a couple of folks, either Rockland Standard Gear or Keisler Engineering. Search the web, you'll find their numbers. They both deal in T56's and should be able to help you out.

T-56 Input shaft lengths:
LT1: 9-1/4"
LS1: 10-3/4"
Found that info here: http://www.mackstrans.com/TremecID.html
Couldn't find the length of the Ford T-56 inputs shaft but the Cobra used a 10 spline input shaft versus the Viper/F-Body 26 spline.

If your looking to put a GM or Viper T-56 into a Ford, sounds like a good bet for the tailshaft housing problem just to use the GM/Viper tailshaft and get a different yoke and shorter driveshaft.
