T56

The 93 was the weakest of the T56 from a F-body, your's is a 94 and I'd be fine with that year and later.

I am surprised that LUK did not recommend the clutch with the flywheel.
Autozone carries LUK components.

Depending on the size of your rear tire, the 6th gear will be PLENTY usable.

I'm putting a T56 in my 442 with 3.73 gears and a 27" tire and I can shift into 6th going 65mph at
1500rpm for cruising according to the gear calculators. Just depends on if your motor will be happy at 1500rpm or not.

With the existing 3.42 gear it will be 70mph @ 1500rpm.
So it's definitely usable if your tire size is relatively close to that size.

For reference when I had a .50 sixth gear, and 3.90 gears I was only turning 2000 rmp at 70 or something like that.

I ended up driving in 5th a lot since it just felt wierd at that low of an RPM.

BUT, i got insane gas mileage.. like 26 mph.. keep in mind that's why the .50 ratio exists, to make CAFE standards.
