I would not bank on that. Core T56's aren't that cheap, nevermind if they need a rebuild or any fresh parts. A decent clutch plus the hydraulic conversion bits are going to cost at least 500 bucks. Then the t56 to mopar bellhousings are in the 500+ dollar range. Then you need a new driveshaft, blah blah blah it all adds up quick. You may end up at 2k but I know for sure I'm budgeting much higher than that. Better to budget high and come back low than the other way around.
I'm not a typical Moparts throw money at it kinda guy. I find stuff cheap. I've come across more than a couple T56, from various applications for stupid-cheap... not all were cores (i wont be rebuilding a tranny). The trick scattershield i fully expect to pay for... not getting around that one, but the rest could be hobbled together pretty thrifty-like.
Again... this is not going behind a gnarly big block... a stockish 360 Magnum easily gets by with used parts.
