Default Should I sell my LT - T56?

I already swapped a low mileage (30k) Lt1 T56 into my car a few years back, and now moving forward with the engine swap project I need to plan what to do with my trans...

Sell the whole Lt1 trans, and try and buy a LS T56?

Send this out for conversion to LS style, and sell my bellhousing and clutch/flywheel?

Thought I would get an opinion from you guys.

Read my LT to LS T56 tech feature in GM high tech this month.... if you still want to sell it after that... go right ahead, but don't before reading my article.

So it sounds like swapping the input shaft and such makes the most sense or at least what your eluding too... I'm in no huge hurry here. I'm gathering parts and $$ still yet for the swap.

Any other opinions?

RSG sells the kit for $400 for the input shaft and main plate. That's about all you need.

Feel like a butthole, but I'm not familiar with RSG. Quick google brought me pages of "cash 4 gold" stuff lol
