I have designed the flywheel and It's been machined by a local company. I'm 98 % happy with it, there is always something that can be better and I have made the changes so I'm ready to make the 3 I need. Yes, the clutch is a South Bend DXD, but with full face Feramic on both sides.

And here is 3 pictures to show how I will make the T56 adapter. The first picture shows the main plate, it will bolt the T56 gearbox to the 1UZFE bellhousing. The second picture shows the steering plate, it will align the input shaft on the T56 gearbox with the big round hole in the 1UZFE...

Ok, here is a picture of the flywheel and the pressure plate that will be used. The flywheel weighs in at 8.4 kilo.

91_4x4runner: I'm still working on it, been busy traweling. I have done a complete redesign thou with what I learned from the 1UZFE to Getrag adapter plate, I have split the T56 adapter into 2 different plates, a "main plate" that holds the T56 to the 1UZFE bellhousing and one "steering plate"...

Lextreme: The problem with the Supra Getrag 6 speed is it's incorporated bellhousing. That makes it difficult to get the alignment of the gearbox spot on, I have tried with an european Ford MT75 and I was not happy with the result. The best solution to fitting a 6 speed behind the 1UZFE is...

A few more pix.

Another adapter plate for the UZFE engine, this time to a Getrag 262 from an old BMW 3.0 ( early 80's ). This gearbox will go into a Ford Capri as the transmission tunnel is tiny and I don't have time to fab a new tunnel, hence a smaller physical size, but still strong, gearbox. There is two...

I just got this from RPM transmissions, comparison between the different input shafts.

markstoys: I just saw the pictures of your bellhousing, nice ! I think it will be interesting machining all the holes for the 1UZFE engine and the T56 box. It's a more elegant solution than the adapterplate, but for me the plate will be the easiest as I have access to scrap aluminium fram a...

markstoys: The input shaft measures 185 mm from the front flange, where the sleave around the input shaft begins, to the tip. It protures 3 - 5 mm in front of the flange towards the engine. This is far enough as the crankshaft comes about 10 mm back from the same flange. Remember, I use a...

markstoys: I will measure the lenght the next time I'm in the workshop, and I'll find out what Chevy the input shaft is from. The gearbox will go into a Ford Sierra RWD in the end, at the moment I'm fabricating engine mounts and gearbox bracket. I haven't quite made up my mind about the sump...

markstoys: I will be using a custom clutch and flywheel. I don't know about the clutch yet, I need one capable of taking 800 lb/ft and still behave on the street. The flywheel will be my own. I think Tilton makes a hydraulic slave cylinder for the Mustang Cobra T56 but I haven't checked if...

This is the first prototype for an adapter plate to get a Tremec T56 gearbox to a 1UZFE auto bellhousing. The T56 gearbox is from a Ford Mustang, the boltpattern is different on Chevys. There is still some work to do with the position of some of the bolt holes + the 2 guiding pins on the...

skid: Here is a small picture of a Corvette C5 gearbox/diff assembly. Notice, the driveshafts come out all the way to the back.

cribbj: That setup looks great ! The biggest problem thou, is still an intake manifold to suit.

quadcam boat: I know Ferrari made a 2.0L twin turbo V8's for the 308's and the 328's for the Italian and Swiss markeds. They were made for tax ( 2.0 litre swept volume ) reasons.

A thank you from me to David, you do go above and beyond. - Trond

Lextreme. Remember, this pulley was something I looked into a year or so ago and the idea was to retain the stock crank pulley with the vibration damber and all the ancillaries it runs. I planned to run a separate circuit for the supercharger, there was a couple of reasons to do this; it's...
