t56's are over priced to begin with and at 190k it either has problems or is about to. so I wouldnt give more than a core price for it because bearings willl most likely need to be done. I'd say 800-1000 with anything over 1k being a BIG stretch. If it was lower miles and working fine then 1500+- would be fair

plan on a rebuild ($650-850 in parts) as stated.
A couple gears $180 each, maybe a couple synchronizers also $100 each at the minimum. Get a picture of the tip of the input shaft. If there is scoring and it isn't perfectly smooth.... plan on needing a new one. $250
then labor
A new Magnum is just over $3K delivered. It doesn't come with a bellhousing... but will shift light years better than any Fbody style T56.
when I buy used T56's and plan to rebuild them... I don't pay more than $600 with bellhousing. Even if someone says all the gears are good.... until you tear it down you simply can't see the true wear.

As for the Magnum, I was told it will not fit in the fbody without major modifications.
