Aah

My impression of the engines is that they are like pizzas ! Pick a type, pick a size and then choose your toppings.

Strangely I feel really hungry now!

OK, just had an email telling me the rough sizes of a tremec T56 Gearbox is 36" x 17" x 17" - that cant be right surely? 17" wide, 430mm?

Those measurements are wrong, see link above. 12" wide, tall is nearer the mark. Also, make sure you get the right t56. If using an ls engine you need a ls t56 box for the longer input shaft. I don't know if you could fit an earlier box to an ls engine.

Oh, they're heavy mutha's about 9 stone!

EFA.

From their website, e.g.

http://www.ttcautomotive.com/English/products/T-5....

75 lbs for the T5
105 lbs for the TKO 600
115-129 lbs for the T56 (no guesses needed for weight in stones!)
