Back in 2001 I put a GM 305 and a T5 in my 1987 Turbo. I'm happy with the engine, but would prefer a T56 tranny.

Can someone direct me to good photos of the undersides of FCs with T56 transmissions and their mounts?

TIA

im toying with the idea of putting a t56 in my FC with the rotary still in place. lets see how that comes along.

Why do you want to do that? I had a 1988 SE, and a 1987 Turbo. Both Mazda transmissions were fine in my experience.

The reason I am installing a T56 is because when I built the car with the V8 in 2000 I installed a T5. That was a mistake. Now 19 years later I am driving the car much more than I did the previous 18 years and need more overdrive. Also the T5 that is in it is making noise. Rather than rebuild the T5 I am installing a T56.

I can take pics for ya. What are you trying to see?

Rear transmission mounts that bolt to the original Mazda transmission mounting points. I'm looking for ideas how I might want to do this.

I’ll get under the Fc and snap a bunch as soon as I can.

cus the stock t2 tranny is a pain in the ***. id rather have something that i know can be rebuilt with off the shelf parts.
