Default strong 5 speed for cheap?

anyone know of a brand new 5 speed manual tranny i could get for less than $2000 that will hold 450 lb ft of torque or so? its going in a 4000lb truck turning 35" tires with a crate 350 in front of it.

Why not just go with a T-56 setup? They're about as strong as those super-expensive G-Force and TKO tranmissions (those are two of your options for a strong 5-speed right around $2k), and you'll have an extra gear to use on your way to the bash

well its going in an offroad truck with limited highway use, so i think a T-56 would be a waste... im thinking maybe i could find a used T5 and have some heavy duty gears stuffed in it. i wish i could pull it off for $1500 but anywhere under $2k would be great.
