T56 Adapting

I have searched on and off now for a couple days and have turned up no hard results.

Is there anyone that makes a t56 bellhousing adapter for a 13b/20b?
if so can you post some contact info.
(no the t5 will not work)

Second question is there anyone that has made a custom input shaft for the tranny so the spline count/size matches up to the 13b/20b. Stock length or not, im looking for a machine shop that has alreay done this to save money on the cad work required. I would prefer a custom unit and not machining the stock input shaft for the t56. I would prefer the same spline counts so that i could use an aftermarket fd clutch.

Look in the 20B forum. IIRC, someone posted the name of a company that makes an adaptor about a year ago.
