convert ctsv t56 to fbody or sell it?
I am doing an ls swap into a 240sx and I have a 04 gto motor and an 05 ctsv trans. I have come to the conclusion that I have 3 main options to make this setup work.
I am leaning towards selling the ctsv trans and buying a gto/fbody trans but I paid a lot for the ctsv trans so I will definatly lose money this way. Also, it seems like not many people want ctsv t56's.
I have also considered converting the ctsv trans but I am unable to figure out exactly what parts I would need and where to buy them. So far from searching around on ls1tech I have come up with:
GTO mainsahft
Fbody/GTO tailhouisng
Fbody/GTO shift rail
F-body offset lever
f-body detent assembly
does anyone know specific part numbers of parts that you would need?
Finally, I could modify the 1 peice driveshaft I have but, I don't really like this idea. Also the remote shifter will be too far back.
What option do you think would be best for my situation?

The slip-yoke conversion eliminates the external shifter (good, because more pivot points, bushings, and mounting locations is bad for direct shift feel and potential failure points) and puts the shifter boss of the tailhousing in a pretty close-to awesome location for the "might as well have a 69 Camaro" platform.
But yes it costs money.
The forward shift location is too far forward.
