Question T56 w/ a transfer case?

Is there a way to convert a t56 to have a transfer case on it?

You would need a custom adapter plate to mate the T56 output shaft with whatever transfer case you are choosing. Advanced Adapters may have it or could make you one ($$$$).

An NV4500 would be a much easier solution and has better gearing for 4x4ing... unless you plan to make an AWD car.

Care to elaborate on your intended use for this and car/driveline setup?

Check up in the conversions forum as someone was stuffing an LS1 and a T56 into a typhon (spelled right?) Looked pretty wicked.

You might try an NV5600. It's cast iron, and heavy as all get out, but it'll handle 560 ft-lbs stock, compared to the T56's 450. Plus it has a MUUUCH lower 1st gear that'll get you out of the hole quicker.
