Broke as in bad syncros/ slider keys or broke as in output shaft or tail shaft? Big difference. You can get it rebuilt at D&D with all their goodies including a viper output shaft for ~$1500. That will hold just about anything you throw at it.

my t56 hold 600hp for two years of pain. 1.3 60 foots 10.1 in the 1/4 and it keeps going. i got all the parts from d&d and built it up. also...make sure you get the stamped steel keys,i broke keys every other week(no ****)they would'nt hold. once i got the steel ones they NEVER broke again. now...if i can keep a clutch i'de be doing great. goodluck to ya bro.

You could also try ls1joe. Ive heard he is good and reasonably priced.
