T-56

[Hognuts]

Looking to upgrade Trans in my 57 Chevy. I am not making crazy power, just a naturally aspirated small block with mild cam. I am curious as to which OEM T-56 would be the easiest to pick up (budget in mind) that could be mated to svc utilizing mechanical clutch linkage and being able to maintain shifter location for bench seat.

I have talked to a few of the shops that sell kits, but they are pushing hard for the kit that includes the "magnum". Which would be great, but that isn't in the budget. What I would like to do is find a used one, build the internals myself and adapt to my setup. If there is already a thread for this or if any of you have input, it would be appreciated.
