Default Lost 5th and 6th Tore my T56 Down: Opinions Needed

So lost 5 and 6 while driving. Tore it down to find the output shaft splines toasted as well as the 5 and 6 gear splines wiped. Rest of the tranny looks good but the reverse syncro is started to show wear which i knew would be an issue when i opened her up. My question for everyone is this fairly common on a higher mileage trans and should i stick stock parts back in it. Its behind a 380-400rwhp LT1.

Just want some opinions from people that have had this issue and what they would recommend.

Thanks

New main shaft and 5-6 cluster should last a long time.
