Srt4 to t56 adapter

[bgbmxer]

Looking to build something custom here soon. Want to mate a srt motor to a t56 viper/corvette 6 speed. Anyone know if an adapter such as thus has ever been made. Clutch setups and the like. Looking at the t56 because it can handle a ton of power. If this is in the wrong section let me know. Thanks.

The toyota sourced manual transmissions used in the wrangler and liberty and GM applications are fairly stout and its not going to be reinventing the wheel.

Is that the liberty bellhousing with the ma5 solstice trans your referring to?

Yes, the MA5/R154 bellhousing (I think they interchange from what I remember reading) is what he is referring to.

[turismolover22]

Yes, we have our sources of 5 speeds. But why not a 6 speed. I would love a 6 speed srt4 powered daytona.....hmm. This link has a very comprehensive conversion list of what swaps with what.

Don't need a bellhousing adapter for a corvette transmission from the era you want so I think this might be more of a fantasy without research?

Wow. What is that from??

That's the new corvette stuff. T56 is much older.

Think it's called a "torque tube" setup. Very cool in my opinion, and a really good idea to move some weight back in an already well designed vehicle.

[bgbmxer]

I would like more info and picture of what setups people using the ma5 are using as far as clutch pilot bearing and such. I'm looking to make 5-600 horse.

The Plymouth prowler had something similar back in 97.

The 'Vette's that used the torque tube design also used T56 transmissions. They are just a different case to accept the torque tube adapter and the 3rd member. Also, just because a transmission is a T56 doesn't mean it is the same strength as the Viper transmission. There are different internals that are used for the different applications that they are found in from the OEM's.

Corvette had that setup starting in 97. I took all that stuff out of a c5 a month ago to do a rear main seal.

Have researched this portion before. They do have a few differences main one being the input shaft is stronger. Tons of aftermarket for that stuff tho. I didn't however know that they had that torq tube design that far back tho. I'm assuming that both don't use a slip yoke setup since they are independent rear?

[Vigo]

There are no slip yokes. Every distance between the engine and the rear diff is set and doesnt change because it all bolts together into one long assembly. The CV joints function as slip yokes for suspension articulation but i doubt that's what you meant.

No not entirely what I meant. Also tell me more about this 1.7 omni in your sig.

I want a 1.7 79-82 2dr to do a TDI build on. I dont own one yet! :(

Couldn't you use a newer omni and just use those mounts? The rest I think could be bought or stolen from a vw. I to looked into some of this. I also had a 84 rabbit with a half built turbo diesel setup. Loved the motor but hated the car it was in.

[Vigo]

Yes, but i dont want an omni at all, i want a 2dr, and i want a 79-82 because i like the style better than the newer ones (older tails, 1/4 windows, funkier trim, etc). So i'm looking for a pretty particular thing.

would be a cool project. My old turbo diesel project had more pep than the clutch would hold on the stock pump. If I ever build one again I'd go with a bigger turbo then the te04 I had on it and actually use a Garrett. Maybe someday.

I wish I had the transmission (T-6060) from my 10 second street Z28 hooked up to both the Neon and Matchbox...with RWD! The Z has a best ET of 10.51 at 131 and gets a hair over 28 mpg when driving 55 mph....1500 rpm is 63 mph! The Matchbox, 23.5 mpg at 55...3000 rpm is 60 mph.
