Yep, in a Ford version, it's only available for the modular V8's.

I have never really seen the desire to use a T-56 unless you're dealing with over 700lb-ft of torque....and even then I can offer a TKO 600 that will handle that. To me, you're basically paying just to say "I have a 6-speed." They are heavy (and MUCH larger than a T5) and expensive transmissions and unless it's the Magnum, the torque capacity isn't anything special at all.

I sell a few, but I usually try to steer customers away from them.

The TKO 500/600 can be made to shift at a higher rpm. We do several modifications to them that will make them easier to shift. I don't see the T-56 being a 7500rpm box at all.
