I am installing an LT1 T56 in my Conquest and I have a question about the TOB. Am I supposed to install the tob between the clutch and pp, or do i slide it on the input shaft and attach to the fork. On a few pictures i have seen it looks like the tob is installed with the pp. Sorry for any newb questions but this has been quite a venture... I might have to remove the pp again if I fffed up. Thanks

 

take the pp back off and install it between the clutch and pp when the fork is connected it pulls out on the pp hince the little fingers on it

 

Crap...I hate doing things twice. Thanks for the reply!!

 

How about some pics of the V8 'Quest! I was looking at doing one of these before I bought the Supra, and from what I've learned here a front sump GTO oil pan will make a Gen 3 swap a lot easier. I still may do this as my next swap, I'm also looking at a Porsche 928.

Looks like the same clutch I have on my LT1 280Z.

 

Thats not a V8 Conquest..

Tell us what engine your using.

The clutch is a Spec 3+ and I got a custom Fidanza to work with the adapter kit.

sweet, did you get the to bearing in?

 

Yes, I pulled the pp and installed the bearing from the inside. I have heard that the clip that holds the TOB in place tends to come loose and is only there to assist in the install. Is that correct??

I should have the tranny in by this weekend. I have to hammer out the tunnel a bit as the t56 is a lot beefier than the stock tranny. I just need to decide on a shifter now and get the custom driveshaft made. I can't wait to drive a 6 speed Conquest

 

My bad, I read your first post & thought you were putting an LT1 and a T56 in. I see now it is just the T56.

Car looks good regardless. I don't think there are any custom driveshaft makers here that are sponsors, so I can share that I had the steel driveshaft for my LT1 280Z made at Denny's Driveshaft. Great guy, he spoke to me personally to make sure it was right. It was high quality & an excellent fit for $300.
