Hey Darrell, I'm about to pull the trigger on my manny tranny project and I've about decided on the T56 Magnum package from American Powertrain.

Did you get yours as a package from somebody?
And did you end up going mechanical or hydraulic on the actuation?
Are you running the stock console, and if you are, did the shifter come up in the right spot?

Sorry I did not see this earlier.

I pieced together my own kit. I used RM motor mounts and made my own crossmember. I was lucky enough to get a hydraulic clutch from JMC when I had a T5 in the car. I called them last year (days before they went out of business) and got a bracket for the T56.

I made my own console but the shifter came up through the hole in a good spot. I had to trim a little from the front of the tunnel but that was mostly because of the Steeda shifter I put in. Other than that it was a pretty easy swap.
