Default About to purchase a T56 Magnum kit

I have recently purchase my first 69 Camaro. It has a 383 internal balanced w/ a Steve Casner th350 and 12 bolt with 3:31 gears. It also came with a M20 centerforce clutch.

My thoughts are to sell the the th350 and the M20 to offset the price for a t56 kit.

American Powertrain and Keisler seem to be the way to go.. I sent in a quote request on Friday morning but havent received price yet. I see Keisler on ebay for $3799.00 plus $195.00 shipping.

What are your thoughts, Vendors included.

Hey Cole, I ordered a magnum from American Powertrain a couple of weeks ago. I would not hesitate to go through them, everything was as promised and quicker than quoted and good luck.

I haven't, I'm in the early stage of my build.

Hurst Drivelines for mine, heard nothing but good about American too.

The trans is worth every penny IMO.

Got mine through Hurst Drivelines as well... but have heard great things about American too.

Love the T56... mine replaced a 700R4.
