Rebuild t56? or buy tko/tr6060?
I have a 6.0L (LQ4) going into a 83 C10 longbed with corvette front suspension, my question is i have a LT1 t56 that i purchased when it still had a sbc, and it needs an input/ cluster shaft because the previous owner blew it up. The transmission is completely torn down and my list of OEM parts is about $1500, but that still only makes it withstand 400ft/lbs
So i also would need to get a different bell housing and input shaft to make it work on my ls based 6.0L. do i spend $2000+ to have my t56 repaired with good parts or do i man up and purchase a TR6060 (magnum t56)? i would go TKO but i cant spend $2200 and not shift 3rd, i will never forgive myself
thanks guys
PS TICK never responded to my question when i emailed them

Our T56 to TR6060 Change-over units have a much greater Hp/Tq capacity than any Custom Built T-56 can handle...It does not matter if its a Level 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 Built T56, it will NEVER be able to handle the power a TR6060 can..
Some of you may have heard about the shifting issue's the 08-09 Z06's & ZR1's have...You will not have that with our units..
All of our custom built Change-Over-Units have all the Upgrades used in 2010 TR6060's, PLUS you get Carbon Rings in 1st/3rd/4th and the Synchro's in 1/2 & 3/4 have been Updated also from 08-09 years...
