Finding a T56 in a junk yard for cheap isn't going to happen. When and if they get them, they are pulled and put inside their buildings. They are sold for what you can buy a good rebuilt unit runs. Go to car-parts.com and see what I am talking about..........

Hell I have junk yards and transmission shops refer customers to me all the time because I specialize in them.

Sounds like a plan. Most used units fetch $1500+ in junk yards in unknown condition.

Look up San Antonio Fbody club. As for salvage yards, I don't know of any that specialize in these cars. Salvage yards prefer vehicles that are 10 years old or less. It's all about getting in vehicles in which the parts can be moved quickly.
