will someone please help?

Im doing the t56 conversion and i must be done within a week so all parts will be ordered tonight. I already have the tranmission, bellhousing, and the shifter. Now i need the custom crossmember. Where is the best place to get one? Also i seen this one on ebay:

I have long tube headers. Will this accomadate them? Also whats the purpose of the "driveshaft safety loop?? is it somthing i need? and do i need a new "tourqe arm"? Please just answer my questions. Ive read the threads multiple times and im just begging for a straight answer.. please. thanks

thanks for the response! i know i need the flywheel ect, im buying those locally. I just have to order the parts i cant buy locally tonight such as the custom crossmember and ect.

also through gmpartsdirect.com, i can get the complete clutch hydraulic assembly and clutch release fork for $224. Is that a bad deal?

Alrighty Ill go ahead and place the order. Does the fork just sit over the throw out bearing or how does it attach? I just want to make sure i have all the bolts and such.

Here's a thread I started that should have everything you're looking for. I swear that thread should be a sticky considering how many times I've had to link people to it! BTW, the hawks crossmember is for the T56/longtubes combo. it'll require modification if you have inner SFC's though.
