I have a 66 charger 440, 4 speed
Looking to swap in a t56 magnum first, while i hunt and plan a modern fuel injected hemi swap. It appears I would be buying this style bellhousing initally: https://www.jegs.com/i/Quick-Time-Bellhousing/698/RM-6077/10002/-1
Then once i have found my swap motor and gather the parts would be moving to this style housing: https://www.jegs.com/i/Quick-Time-Bellhousing/698/RM-8078/10002/-1
Are there any glaring issues beyond buying two different bellhousings? In my mind a T56 magnum will happily bolt up to both engines. I just dont want to end up in a position where i buy a t56 to fit somewhat oem style in the 66 to then learn I have to purchase another t56 to keep oem styling and bolt up to the modern hemi.
I am specifically looking at the T56 magnum 6speed, I spent years in the LS world and love that t56 and all its hydraulic clutch goodness. I am looking at the swap kit put together by a company who doesnt post a price for their kit.... but i hear its around 5-6K
Is there a better kit or company? I have the oem K member, disc brake conversion, i do plan to do a QA1 front suspension with the newer hemi swap when the time comes.
