You would probably be better off rebuilding the one you have. Find a reputable shop, take them yours for a rebuild. If you dont have a core to start with, may have to pick a junker up from the junk yards to have built. Thats what Ive always done.

I don't know if there is a good place to buy a remanufactured one. Even Jasper charges $3k with an $840 core charge. You can buy a brand new T56 Magnum for less than that.

Id still suggest finding a reputable shop and asking for the cost to rebuild one. That 3k trans mentioned above has to be a full race setup, couldnt imagine a stock rebuild would cost that. Im an automatic guy so not 100% sure. Hit up the MD local section here on tech and ask around. Good luck man.

check craigslist and the classifieds on here. Ebay also sometimes has them as well. Nice thing is the lt1 t56 usually goes for a lot cheaper then ls1

I rebuilt my T-56 I will tell you that the parts get real expensive if you have to replace more than just the consumables. I lost the ability to shift from 6-5 but could go 4-5, cost me around 550-600 for the replacement parts and wear items, I put regular keys back into it since the "upgraded" junk just failed all the same.
