my adapter is a flat plate w a smaller input shaft hole so if something is different w the Magnum you would have to mod the plate.

the reason for a small hole is to better indicate center in re to the input shaft and provide a base for the QM hydraulic clutch server.

Yeah, I'm sure anyone can make one. Looking for quality here so I don't have to go back and spend thousands of dollars on broken parts. We had a list going of people interested, but nothing developed.

Magnum T56 bolt on kit

I'm currently working on a SFI certified bellhousing direct to the 20b and to trans no need for adapter plates ect. Also it's safe because when you start making big power the possibilities of you clutch exploding are greater so it awesome to have the peace of mind that your feet are safe . I will be posting more pics soon. It's and amazing workmanship they are also interested in making a full bolt on kit including everything you would need to have a direct bolt on including driveshaft mounts shifter ect. If people are interested I can talk to them to create a group buy.

Well, I'm definitely interested. Right now I have the 20b in my fd mounted and set up to run the stock trans. I want to upgrade to either a T56 or viper trans (2003+) but leaning towards a built up T56 because the shifter will line up with the stock location. I'm looking at piecing this together in the next month or two. In the mean time I'll just be running the stock trans and wait for it to blow up. It's been too long to not see this 20b run.

What clutch are you going to be running for the stock transmission? I will be selling my stock trans and I also have a ORC triple disk capable of 800 hp + with only 50-100miles on it brand new just decided to go a different route with trans but it's a amazing clutch I payed closed to 3500 with shipping and everything I would take 2500 and I will throw in the stock trans with the conversion to push needed for the clutch. If interested let me know.

Someone should really develop this for the 13b. RZ would your bell housing work for both?

It's not. That's why this would be great if it could be made to work with the manual rear iron.
