Default Built th400 trade for 6 speed setup(lt1)

I have a built th400 that was in a 9 second race car. Also a carbon fiber pro-rathcet. The th400 has manual vb and trans brake. I'm not sure on all the specifics but it will be fresh as I am having a friend who builds race motors/trans check it out and get it ready to go.

I have 2 other cars that are more strip cars and I want to make the trans am a 95% street car and really want a 6 speed.

So if anyone is interested, send me a pm. The shifter is basically new, was 240. A trans built like this over 1k... and I have a 6 speed crossmember thats been drilled for a th400. I only have a stockish converter I can include. Transmission is currently at a relatives in north VA. I'm willing to drive a couple hours or a little more to make a trade. We can work out the specifics. A 6 speed setup thats all stock would be fine also.

I would be all over this if you needed a T56 from a LS1.

May consider an ls1 setup... looks like it can be adapted.

If someone local wants to swap a ls1 6 speed setup, local as in I'd drive 3-4 hours to meet up, I'd do... but I need everything.

What are your looking for in $$$?

I have a LT1 6-speed
Spec Stage 3 Clutch(has about 300 miles on it)
And B&M shifter

tranny has 203K on it but shifts fine and makes no noises.

Eveything is still in the car, im just kicking around doing a swap

I'm not sure money wise what I'd want for it. I prefer to do a trade, but could always buy a complete swap kit from somewhere.

The trans was built for a race car, but I don't know the specifics, but I figure once I get it refreshed has to be worth 1k-1500 or so... probally fine as is, but I'd feel more comfortable with it checked and freshened. But from what I see they go for with a transbrake I think thats about right. I would also include the brake pedal assembly, console, etc... thats need to put in an auto. I have a stockish newer converter and the modified 6 speed cm but you still need an inch spacer. You will need to get a driveshaft made also.

I need everything to go to a manual, trans, bell, shifter, clutch/flywheel, pedals, etc... swaps are around 1250-1500 so I think its pretty close money wise.

I'm still interested in the tranny if you decide to sell it.

Ok, I still need to haul it home and get it checked out. So will be a few weeks before I can do anything.
