T56 Information Request

What have I found? 10-spline input, 31-spline output. Sounds like a Ford Mustang application, but the guy insists it's from a GM.

The tag indicates that it is a Ford 5.0 aftermarket unit.

Do you know if there is a GM bellhouisng and 26-spline input that can be swapped to make this work for me? The guy is asking a chunk o'change for this thing.

It would probably be easier to just find a T56 for a GM application, rather than spending a pretty penny on something that doesn't fit and would need shafts changed to work.

Agreed. It's a lot of money just to insert an 0.80 ratio between 4th and 5th in my TKO600...

It's a Ford transmission but GM has used 10 spline input shaft in their older transmissions a few decades ago. I think the Ford input shaft is longer than the input shaft for a GM. The tail shaft would be easy to switch out and you could always change the drive shaft yoke to match the slip yoke if necessary.
