If you want to argue for the sake of arguing I guess you have somewhat of a small point, but you're missing (likely on purpose for the sake of arguing) the (I'd say) general consensus of going with a part that you know the history of an rebuilding, vs shelling out big $$$ up front for a used transmission and then having to possibly rebuild it, and then discover that some clown was rugging it, banging it into gear and it now has a split case.
If you look at my first post, you will see I just mentioned an option that would work. The op wanted a cheaper option than spending 8k for a 6 speed transmission. A viper spec t56 is rated for 650trq which is what a hellcrate crate engine makes.
How many people here have bought and used USED 4 speed transmissions... last I checked they don't make them new. You guys seem to be set on using all new stuff, but not everything can be bought new and I use used parts all the time.
