Anyone do this mod on an e-body yet?

I'm sure the torsion bar x-member will need to be thoroughly hacked, but wondering about the tunnell itself if it'll have to be completely replaced or just hacked/patched.

There's no hacking,...unless of course the installers skill level usually entails that degree of mechanical skill, as with ANY application where a componet is not originaly designed for that application, there will be some mods to perform, wether recommended by the vendor, or percieved by the installer.....but no you won't be "hacking" your crossmember or tunnel for the NEW T56 installs......granted some of the early Keisler Tremec swaps had clearance issusers, which some owners refused to mod their car to accept,....like everything in life, things change and adapt from evolution,...so have many of Keislers offerings,....if your a paint daub/numbbers/originality guy, stay with your stock set up,.....if you like performance, improvement, less engine wear, GREAT gas milage, then install a Keisler TKO or Tremec

Hmm...you sure? I'm aware of mods that may be req'd for the FIVE-speed, but heck, Keisler dosn't even offer the Viper 6-speed on their website, leading me to believe that it's thoroughly a MAJOR mod.

Here's a TR6060 in a Challenger, which I think is very close in dimensions to a T56:



Complete elimination of torsion bar x-member:

Rob,...use the search function on the Keisler site for T-56 applications using the Viper Case with .50 OD,....there's over 150 T56 Tremec applications, bellhousing availability, clutch packages, etc.....if your serious about a T56 .50 Viper Tremec, call Keisler, Gene, Richard or Jeff can assist you with your application, and what's needed/available,....the NEW DogBox RT T56 (no clutch shifting) should be available soon, depending on your projects deadline?

I don't think canned fish is what he needs in his Ebody

The company he is referring to is Richmond.

We can sell you a mechanically adaptable 6 speed but there will be modification. The six speeds are physically larger and there is no way to make clearance for the torsion bar crossmember.
