Default buying a new t-56

Im in the market to buy a new t-56 that can hold about 500whp and maybe a 150 shot.

Who is the best vendor to talk to about buying one?

or is it cheaper to buy a used t-56 and get it completely re built.

You may want to call them. They were on this site looking or cores. they can source one for you and rebuild it.

Here is from the site

Core Sourcing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you don't currently have a six speed transmission in need of a rebuild, or if you simply can't afford the downtime associated with removing your transmission and sending it to us, letting us source a core for you may be your best bet. We'd much rather you find your own core and send it to us, but we offer this service for those of you who can't. For us to find a core for you, you must first call and make a deposit. We guarantee a core will be sourced for you within one month.
