Bubble-wrap scattershield, who would have thought of that.
The transmission dwarfs the block, what tunnel mods are needed for this to work in a Soarer?

On the conversion prices.

T56 on eBay $1,200 - $1,600 ( Used )

My kit I am making ? Hopefully somewhere around $2,500 odd. ( Guesstamate )
( This would be for, Adapter / Flywheel / Friction Plate / Pressure Plate / X-Member / Gearstick )

Then all you will need will be a pedal box and a TT driveshaft for modifications.

Future options that ARE availble will be either a Short Shift or Rip Shift.
( These range in price from $100 - $500 )

I notice you are using a giant ball of steelos for the bellhousing. Any worries with stiffness?

Is that the original housing next to it? Any idea if that fits an old style small block or is the LS motor it came off of different?

i dont know if you are aware of this but, Neil is a soarer enthusiast and mechanic who runs the website
www.rushimports.com.au hes the one who makes the large headers/extractors for the v8. in the past i believe he has provided people with manual conversion kits, and this is just a thread for a new kit he is producing. according to his website, it should be in testing in september, so currently nothing is for sale. also from his first post i believe the cost for all the parts would be between $3500-4000.

I run a r154 and am quite interested. I've seen a STD box like this running in the 10's at 140 mph in a VZ wagon on slicks. This guy absolutely punish-fcucked the thing in the dumper and it held up fine.

6th gear = 400kmph top speed run Neil????
