C5 Corvette tailhousing sitting above T56. Hydraulic TOB also pictured on input shaft. The Sierra 6.5" differential also at lower left.

6.5" Front differential. This is most likely going to need to be upgraded to the 7" once the car is turbocharged.

8.8" Ford T-Bird third member. May swap this for an aluminum case later on.

Custom flywheel and stage 2+ clutch (670ft-lbs) from Spec Clutches. It's a 4.6L Cobra flywheel drilled for the 3.5L's bolt pattern. It will most likely still require a spacer due to the adapter plate thickness. Clutch is also Cobra..

They are still long and need to be cut down and notched. They will attach right at the end of the bend on the hoop.

How are you going to get a GM tranny to mount up to a Ford engine? Will the gearshift be able come through the tunnel you will have to fabricate - in the right location - so you can shift the thing like a normal car? Just some thoughts I had bro... I think a Miata driveline with a mad turbo setup would be easier...
