After the disappointment with the TKO 600 (not "FER RACIN" approved) I quickly sold it and should have the Quicktime bellhousing and Viper T56 sitting in my garage by next week. They are low mileage trannies out of a salvage yard that specializes in Vipers and came at a very reasonable price. The trip to Summit has already been made for the clutch, master cylinder, tranny mount, pilot bearing etc, and trannies will be coming equipped with their original throwout bearing setups and a slip yoke.
The goal is to install a T56 on the cheap without cutting any corners so once I get a little further into it I'll give a complete break down of everything that was purchased with their price and everything that was necessary to maker it fit. The reason for the T56 is pretty simple, it's proven (Vipers), it's obviously rated for HP seeing how the Vipers put out 500+HP, it's got great overdrive gears and it's a single rail shifter meaning easy shifting. We have 2 different ones coming, 03 and up have 1 piece input shafts but 06 and up have other mods do to the use in the Viper Trucks meaning they were beefed up a bit but have less parts available. Because of my Buds (Goon) monster 520 motor he elected to go with the 06 and I have an 04 coming (I'm not above 500HP) but I imagine there will be no noticeable difference between them. Hopefully by next weekend the chopping will commence, for those who are not familiar with my car it will be going in a 69 Charger with a 451 stroker.

And it's great to start getting an idea of what's involved. Have you received and shipment notification on your bell housing? Worst case if you're in a jam (and have room on a CC) you could always grab one at full pop from Summit then just return yours to summit when it arrives. (keeps you from waiting)
