Check out a company by the name of Quick Time. I think they are in Iowa. They have all kinds of bellhousings for what you want to do.

just out of curiosity, why the t-56 for a BBC? i'm not really that informed about mix-matchin transmissions w/ motors but isn't the t-56 geared for a small block hence the 6 speed? i just don't know if a t-56 is a great idea for a BBC.... just my $.02 but i'm sure i will be corrected

Ordered the 408 from LME. Callies/Callies/Wiseco (coated). Should have 11.75:1 with 66 cc combustion chambers. ARP rod bolts, main studs and head studs. Should be a couple weeks before it's here. Waiting to hear back from Brain @ LME for a cam recommendation. My shortblock and cam are for sale.

What are you asking for the short block? Do we know the damage yet? I imagine the pistons/rods/crank are fine...block should be ok as well...

Haven't really decided on a value for the shortblock. I looked up a new Lunati crank and it was $2k. Lunati connecting rods and pistons were almost $2000, IIRC. Maybe take $3k for the shortblock and cam?
Of course, the heads aren't even off the car, so something could be wrong with the rotating assembly. That'd be my luck. Huge hole in one of the pistons or something.
Probably going to need bigger injectors and maybe a restall on the converter. Going to call PI soon for their recommendations. Brian said this motor will be happy @ 7k, so I would think a 4200 stall would be a good street/strip compromise. I hope Nate and Mike M. can get the fuel system sorted out. I'd go external pump, but that's $2k, or more, I don't have.

Well, since **** is weak in here today, here's some action. T/A vs Me vs Tony's Rx7. Also may want to check out the other videos on Tony's youtube profile.

WHose TA is that, and why does he think he has 700+rwhp...that would be enough to **** all over your 636!!!!!!!!!! You ran what mid to high 11's at low to mid 120's? That TA should be good for 140-145 mph in the 1/4

However, that RX7 is SIIIIIIIIIIIICK. And it's still on pump gas, it's built for E85 but he keeps blowing out the spark on his LS2 truck coils at high boost
get your what nots done and bring it out again this weekend

WHats all done to the RX7...never heard of truck coils having difficulty maintaing spark! those things are used on 1500 hp builds!!!
RX7 does look impressive on a kick!
******* TA is no ways near 700 rwhp, I think your right, stock with blower, he probably bought it that way someone told hime a bunch of ****, and he doesnt know any better
