If you're going to swap a Cobra input shaft into the Viper T56 you are defeating the purpose of having a Viper tranny. The Viper input shaft is longer and 26 spline. The trick is to get a Viper input shaft that is shortened and has pilot turned down to the Ford bearing. Or, take your Viper shaft and have it machined. The tailshaft is a different spline so you will need a Mopar yoke.
The VSS are different, I didn't use the one on the tranny for my speedo. You can swap this out for the Ford one.
I was told the shifters will not swap but if they do please tell us. MGW tells me I can't use their Cobra shifter on my Viper T56. I think the difference is the Viper shifter twists forward and to the left, where the Cobra one leans rearward centered.
