Got my T56 apart for a 30 spline mainshaft conversion. Tranny has 107K, bought the car with 97K, and still shifted fine...SO how do you tell if I should install new sychros??? I don't wanna put the thing back together and only go 2K miles and it start grinding. But I also don't wanna spend $300 on synchros that my not be needed. THANKS!!

Basically you completely clean and dry the friction material and steel rings and mark the rings with machinist dye. Press and Rotate the friction ring against the marked steel ring/surface and the dye should be completely removed.
Remember to re-soak the friction rings with ATF before reassembling.

(The late model triple/double cone synchros wear less, tend to have fewer miles, and are 3x more expensive, but I know this is not the OP's situation.. )
If you are paying someone to rebuild, always do the new parts as the labor will offset the parts. YMMV
