the biggest difference between the ford 56 and the viper is the input shaft

The ford unit has an 11 spline crappy input shaft while the viper has a 26 spline input shaft. A 26 spline input shaft swap is a must for any high HP cobra owner.

If I had the money, I'd do the T-56 along with a set of 4.56 gears!
