Your going to have your shift forks upgraded and your synchronizers upgraded. If not you will tear the transmission out.

Your T56 was rated at 350-ft-lb if it is the 3.36 low gear ratio unit and 400 ft-lb if it is the 2.97 low gear unit. It will need the iron 3/4 fork and a synchronizer upgrade to be more"modern" If you don't bet the xxx out of it, you will be ok trans -wise.
