T56 Swap Question
Curious were people are mounting the Cable-X box for their T56 swaps. Does anyone have recommendations, pictures, and/or tips?

Re: T56 Swap Question
I had one for my '87 Iroc but sold it without using it. Too bulky and to mount where I wanted it, I would need a custom cable made. Instead, I had Alloy modify my tailhousing to accept the mechanical speedo. Not too much more money than the box and much cleaner install.

Re: T56 Swap Question
If the transmission is out of the car, I would contact alloy, no question.

If the trans is in the car, perhaps I would consider the Cable X.
