t56 transmission: how can we make this work

Guys, I need some help with putting in a t56 transmission for my FC. I have Built a Semi P 13b REW from an FD and will be looking at putting out around 600-700 hp with a borg warner EFR turbo.

My questions is to which T56 should I use and how can we make this work?
Where can i get a bell housing, where can i get a drive shaft, and which differential can i use.

Please help me out guys

You can spend a lot of money on a T56 and still just have a T56.

A T56 or Nissan Z transmissoin is probably the right choice if you are building a bad *** street car that will be granny driven when not doing some free way pulls.

If you are building the car primarily for racing you should look into some racing transmission options.

There are options about the same price as a T56 and take about the same amount of configuring to work on a rotary.

But you can get stronger straight cut gears if you can put up with the whine.
You can get super fast shifting dog engaged gears if you can put up with the attentiveness required.
You can get sequential shift pattern if you want.
