Need T56 for 426 Ram

Littlelogeyone · 06-19-2013, 06:26 AM

Looking for a T56 and any info some has on what input and output shaft I need. I am assuming the front side for the bell housing and clutch/starter/flywheel should be a challenger type. The block is an iron 6.1L.

Disregard my transaxle way of thinking.

I am not quite seeing the correlation of spline of a differential (it's a universal at the pumpkin). If you meant the drive shaft then it's what ever the stock 08 ram 5.7 to the 45rfe tranny. I haven't looked it up. Trying to get to the parts store and line up the bell housing, hydraulics, and clutch. But what I need to know is, Is there anyone who has a spec sheet on them? The different vehicles that have T56's have different length input shafts.
Or should I just grab the best tranny I can find for a decent price and just get with Rob and swap out everything to fit?
So if anyone has a lead on a T56 please let me know. Once that portion is done I'm onto the rearend and possibly some cutting and suspension work to have my wheels widened to fit some more rubber out back.
