Default Blown T56

So this thing kind of blew up at 145. Shifter is toast but that is okay, got a Pro 5.0 laying around, clutch is going out so need a new one anyway, it is a little scarred up but don't plan on reusing it since I want a better one. Looking for a T56 right now, would like to get one that is built up a little bit. Probably do the drill mod for the hydro while it is out, haven't researched it a lot but I know where to find the info. Any advice would be appreciated.

Fothergill showed me that pic you sent him. Crazy breakage, never seen that happen. We need to all hit up Centerville when you get that replaced and I get a new driveshaft. I just got my 9" broken in

Any of the sponsors should be able to set you up with a new, upgraded rebuild.. Your core charge might not make it though... ;-) I'd seriously consider a SFI bellhousing next time too... :-/

If you're interested, I have a triple-cone T56 rebuild in the classifieds.

Ya it made a pretty big bang and the entire dashboard jumped. The body looks in good shape, might need to redo a few portions of the exhaust. My torque arm was chewed up pretty good but it is solid chromoly tubing so I think ill let it ride. Oh ya I don't know where half of the transmission mount went but I have a poly I will throw on there for now. Need to fix the vibration problem .
