What t56 transmission did you get and from where?
I purchased the trans from my local GM dealer. They offered to match the best price I could find on the web. It's the magnum with the close ratio.

Got the oil cooler mounted. It took some custom brackets as it was a tight fit. Plumbing was a breeze. These push lock fittings and hose are so easy to work with. I have a oil thermostat in line. It opens at 180. The fans are controlled by a thermo switch as well and they come on at 190.
Rummaged threw a bunch of rad hoses at the local parts store. Grabbed a couple and was able to get the lower hose figured out. It was the first one I grabbed! I thought I would try to carry on my luck by messing with the AC compressor and attempted to connect a couple fittings to the manifold but no dice. .....They hit the frame. I'll have to sleep on that problem.
