I know there is a Quicktime bellhousing to mate up the Viper T56 to the Big Block. Now, taking into consideration, the input shaft length of the T56 and eliminate the hydraulic throwout bearing, can a, say 1/4" adapter plate be used to mate the T56 to the Mopar bellhousing? There is already something like this for the Chevy guys. Greg

So you take a mopar 833 bellhousing, stick a 1/2" aluminum adapter plate on there and I think you'll find you're around 1-2" too short. The viper t56 has the longest of all the t56 input shafts, however I think it is still a little shorter than the 833 input, made worse yet when you slap on an adapter.

I just wanted to know if it could be done or has anyone done it before. Fabbing up an adapter plate is a whole lot less expensive that a $550 bellhousing. If possible�. Greg

I'm not so much concerned with the overall length of the input shafts, just the point where the splines drop off. I guess I'll throw a ruler on it later.

Yes you'd have to kick in an extra few hundred bucks to buy the quick time bell, but at least you would also get a scatter shield in the process. Worth a few bucks for my peace of mind. There were several different lengths of input shafts put into the t56's, and I'm not sure which one the quicktime bell is designed for. Is it designed with the viper unit in mind or the much more common GM camarobird units?
