500E's
That is one fun looking project. Way to go.
A couple of questions. Are you overboring the motor and if so are you sleaving the cylinders or recoating with nikasil?
On the tranny, why did you choose the T56 [a good choice by the way]? We decided to go with the ZF 6 Speed for the conversion but it could go either way. What bell housing are you using to mate the transmission to the M119?
Any tunnel mods necessary to make the T56 fit? That was one of the considerations we had when we went with the ZF.
Have you worked out all the linkage issues yet on the tranny conversion?
Looks like a great project. Do you have an finish date in mind or is it whenever it gets done?

We will put out 600bhp... so I whated an built proof transmission... so I thought the T56 sounded good.
Well I have decided not to use the T56... so that transmission is for sale... so I am going to use a sequential transmission insted...
I hope to have this car done to this spring..

you are one incrediblly lucky man to be able to find the time and especially source out the parts to do this, where I live right now to do a project like that can only be dreamt about.
good luck and have fun.

If you put your mind in to it... you can do it... but it takes time, alot of work... and alot of money... but it can be done...
