Default Looking for junk T56 locally...

I think I finally found my hybrid project car. A 1970 Camaro. I found a straight, mostly rust free roller with 69k original miles for a steal this week. Looking for a junk T56 for my mock-up. I already have an LS1 block (thanks Mike).

Any help would be MUCH appreciated. Car comes with a 4-speed manual - if anyone is interested in trading that for a good T56, that is also an option.

Really excited to start this project.

Don't know if that'll help. I think Brad has a tranny but it isnt junk nor do I think it's all that cheap.

Yeah, it's your block... I'm just using it for the mock-up. I had my hot water pipes break last year and it soaked the motor in water - it's pretty ugly

I see the cracks - they aren't all that bad - someone could repair it, but I thought the cam journals were all messed up too!
