How about a consolidated and updated list of parts that are the best option. I know people have been doing this conversion for a few years now; naturally people are going to find better parts right off the bat without having to make AS many modifications. For the folks that have made the conversion; how are you still liking everything? Best clutch option? Best DD final drive? Best track final drive (NA or FI)?? Would be cool if we could come up with a revision 2.1 or something here...

What's the wiring (color code/diagram) to convert the park switch to a neutral safety switch (where you push the clutch to crank)?

hey guys, this is really going to help me. I have, I believe, 04GIBBS original Joe Gibbs Silverado truck that he originally converted to a T56, but I don't have the backup lights working. where can I get the backup light switch, because theres not one on the trans, and what plug in harness do I need and where do I get that. The trans is from a 2002 camaro. thanks guys.

Ok guys, I'm needing a little help and I found the part # in this thread for the pilot bushing, but had a few more questions. I've got a L33 and T56 that i'm swapping into a Nissan 240sx.

Heavy-Duty Needle Roller Pilot Bearing - 14061685

Is this pilot bearing what I will need to mate my L33 with the T56, or will it be too "Heavy-Duty" for my application?

Is this a dealer only part? How difficult is it to install?

Usually spacers are not REQUIRED (that's the point of adjustable master cylinders) but the only way to KNOW is to measure.
