Transmission and rear end swap out…

By
Being as though my new Hemi RoadRunner is not a true J car…RM yes but J no, I’ve decided to make some changes to the driveline. Ordered a Dana 60 w/410 gear (disc brakes, drilled, slotted w/emerg brake that will fit 15" wheels), caltrac bars, and instead of going with the traditional 18 spline A833, I’ve decided to go with the Tremec T56. I see a lot of ‘kits’ for the 5 speed conversion but none for the 6 speed?? Want to use a hydraulic clutch and slam all 6. Also since the car is new to me…I decided to pull the engine, have it gone through, detailed and redo the engine bay…..figured if I had it all apart…..Currently I have a front engine plate and a Mezerie electric water pump…..don’t know if they make a serpentine system for this setup or will I have to install motor mounts and manual pump and housing? Thanks for the input guys….will post pics as the build proceeds.
