T56 adapter

[markstoys]

Is there an adapter for the T56-1UZ available yet? I thought I read a while ago that someone was working on one. I am ready to go on my Corolla project and have decided on the T56 trans.

None that I am aware of. I have been playing around with ideas as to how it can be done. The main problem is that the input shaft is very short in comparison to other tranny's so that makes doing an adapter to bolt it up to a 1UZ bellhousing almost impossible. Next option is an adapter similar to what is being done to bolt up V16x's to the 1UZ and from measurement that I have taken, thats prett much almost impossible also again cause of the short input shaft length. So that leaves us with a complete new bellhousing. If I end up doing the swap, I am just going to fab a new sheet metal bellhousing from scratch unless one becomes availible before then.
