I don't think you can use the stock t5 bellhousing with a GM t56.

Bolt the T5 bellhousing to the block, just like always. Use the adapter plate to rotate the transmission mounting pattern from slanted to straight-up. Then just bolt the T56 to the adpater plate straight up.

The Spohn crossmemeber and torque arm should just bolt up like the stock pieces. The torque arm mount will now be on the crossmember, so the one on the T56 isn't necessary.

I can try to take a pic later today when I start to pull the trans out to check the pilot bearing.
