Index Plate - Tremec T56

The Index Plate - Tremec T56 by Quick Time is a precision-engineered adapter plate designed for builders integrating a T56 manual transmission into engine swaps and custom drivetrain builds. This component serves as the critical interface between the engine block and transmission bell housing, ensuring proper alignment and load distribution across mounting surfaces. Whether you're installing a LSx engine into a classic Camaro, swapping a Gen V small-block into a vintage muscle car, or executing a complete drivetrain modernization, this index plate eliminates fitment guesswork and guarantees factory-level concentricity.

Manufactured to Quick Time's exacting tolerances, the Index Plate - Tremec T56 is precision-machined to maintain ideal bore-to-bell-housing alignment, preventing parasitic vibration and transmission wear that stems from angular misalignment. The robust construction at 2.5 lbs provides structural rigidity without excessive weight, critical for maintaining chassis dynamics during high-rpm operation. Quick Time's engineering expertise ensures this adapter plate compensates for minor variations in engine bay geometry while maintaining the precise 0.8-inch profile needed for tight engine bay applications. Hard-anodized finish resists corrosion in harsh underhood environments.

This index plate is essential for any serious engine swap builder working with T56 transmissions, from street performance builds to full race applications. Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge—the plate bolts between the engine and transmission bell housing using OEM mounting points. Compatibility spans multiple engine platforms when paired with corresponding Quick Time adapters, making this a foundational component for late-model transmission retrofits into first and second-generation F-bodies, third-generation Camaros, and similar swap platforms. Proper installation ensures longevity of both engine and transmission under load.
