6spd in a fox question

[elongoria]

Any threads here already on what it takes to put a 6 SPD in a fox? Is it worth it?

I got access to two brand new 012 model T56 units. These come with a 10 spline input shaft, 31 spline output shaft, mechanical speedometer and a Windsor bolt pattern bell housing with 9 o'clock fork position. These have been discountinued for a few years and the ones I can get are new old stock.

They are $2750 shipped to your door. If its worth it to you, shoot me a PM. You'll still need a crossmember, 31 spline yoke and shorten the driveshaft a little bit.

I think its a pretty cool swap and have been thinking about doing it on my 95gt..I think there are a few companys (D&D).that sell complete conversion kits for around 3,500...You could prolly piece it together yourself for around 2,000 using used parts

Edit:http://www.ddperformance.com/shop/in...p?cPath=108_96 They are 4,300

<----put a T56 (viper spec'd), quicktime bell, aluminum flywheel, zoom twin disc in my '95. Love it with the Turbo and 3.27 gears.

I built one for my 94Gt with a 393W and its pretty cool. I'm running 3.73's and probably should have went to a 4.10 but its a handful as it is so maybe not.

I do this stuff for a living. Buying a GM T56 and trying to convert it to work in a Ford isn't going to be cheap and a huge pain in the ass for someone who doesn't do it on a daily basis. Easiest route is finding a Cobra unit, using a Quicktime bell housing and not having a speedometer.

600rwhp and in 6th gear we are putting along at 70 and roughly 1600-1700rpms. Much fun. Now I am thinking about fucking it up and going with an auto.

I'm about 1800rpms going into 6th at 70. Problem is, with a big camshaft, anything under that rpm doesn't operate very well. I usually cruise in 5th unless I'm running 80+ mph. At a 100 mph, having a 6th gear is awesome.

By the way, only custom built Viper spec units and GM's came with the .50 6th gear. All the Ford units have a .64 6th gear.

Correct. I wanted the .86(?) and the .50 6th gear. When I had the cam built the transmission was taken into consideration as it is a true street car.....when I am not taking it apart.

Thanks, that was very informative. Got some info to consider now.

Turbo cars dont run, they live their lives out on the comfort of jackstands.

Why?

A tko would be my choice. Who needs 6 gears? Hell throw in the road race 5th in the tko and youll have enough speed to hurt yourself.

/\ on a street car? Id take a t56 any day with the .50 that is..

[YALE]

Because the t56 is buttery smooth, and flat bulletproof, junior, and for not much more than a TKO. I loved having one in the last fox.
