In a shocking turn of events, it turns out an ebay seller lied. The pullout I got came from a 2007 car, not a 2010 so that would make this a T56, not a TR6060. I'm still planning to use as much of the stock bellhousing/clutch/pressure plate/throw out bearing as possible. Everything is in the car...

Would something like this work? It's an RMS Alterktion and Street Lynx setup

Mine's the larger bolt pattern at 4.5"

Just got my project to roller status, except missing wheels/tires. Need to get it on a trailer to take it to body work, so I'm looking for some cheapy wheel with tires that hold air, just for rolling around. 5 on 4.5", Los Angeles.

Yes, I lowered the car over the engine. Besides the minor bit of frame rail trimming to clear the alternator (see posts 54 and 59), it was pretty straightforward. I used the shock towers on the AlterKtion to make sure I was lined up correctly side to side.

I'm curious: what's the benefit of the conversion adapter over having a custom driveshaft made? We've got a shop about an hour away that does custom driveshafts. They made a couple for my truck and did a good job. I was planning to just have them make me one when the time comes.

It's pretty tight. I think it might need a bit of massaging. Did you go with a flanged driveshaft or did you convert yours to a slip-yoke?

About to start tacking the crossmember together

About 3 degrees

I haven't been back out to the garage yet. It's been awfully hot here lately and the excuses practically make themselves.

1.5 o.d DOM tube fits perfect in the torsion bar crossmember. Engine, trans and front suspension all ready to go in I've got the transmission crossmember designed and about half done with the fabrication. Expect to finish that up next weekend. I wasn't able to get anywhere near 1 degree...

I have a plan for the transmission mount, basically copying what @Dragger40 did. Going to weld in a couple inches of the DOM tube in the torsion bar crossmember. That will hold the bushings and add stiffness after the center section was hacked out. Still planning to build a floor support over...

I'm also interested in this bit of advice.
