t-56 swap details help

Yea, i never noticed it before, it does look like the GM unit is a good 6" or so back compared to the viper trans...ill have to figure out how to make that work with the shifter when i get it in. On the other hand, im pretty tall (6'5") and have my seats mounted a few inches back, so this may not end up being an issue for me after all. Whenever the transmission dies i plan on switching to a viper mainshaft and tailshaft housing, or just a new viper trans, whichevers cheaper...

Its good to hear everythings working out for you; sounds like those few issues can be fixed relatively easily-good luck!
