Default T56 drop out

I'm looking for a T56 for my 98'. I recently purchased a drop out LS1 off ebay and have looked there for a 6 speed.

What price point should I be looking for? Any particular T57s I should consider over the others?

Lastly is anyone familiar with AZ Cycle Parts? They're the ones selling T56 drop outs on ebay

I looked at that ebay store, I only found corvette t-56's

I'd try to find the newest LS f-body t-56 possible if it's not rebuilt. The 2000 and older have different synchronizer blocking rings, if it was rebuilt it should have the newer style.

If you find one with claims of low mileage I'd get the complete vin and match it to whats stamped on the case and run some sort of vehicle history on it to verify miles.
My local junkyard guy claimed to have one with 15,000 miles on it, sure enough he did. Long story but there are still some low mile ones out there.

Price might be $1200 to $3000.

Every used t56 I've come across needed a rebuild. And they wanted 2000$. Maybe check some of your local speed shops? A lot of people are going magnum , which is not a bad option depending on budget.
