That price looks pretty good if it's new/unused. They're sold brand new through FRPP for around $2600USD, so that alone converts to around $3900AUD. By the time you ship it over and pay the duty, you'd be far better off buying this one.

BUT...... what's the chance of you actually fitting a T56 6 speed in a live axle Cobra? Unless you're planning on having super stiff suspension, I'd say your universals would have a hard time living with all the binding that they'd be doing with such a short tailshaft and a live axle. Put a Mike Moore style 9" IRS in there, and it wouldn't be a problem.....

I'd look at either the Richmond 5 speed, or the more widely used TKO-2. Much cheaper than the 6 speed, and you really won't miss not having the extra gear. I love what Mike has done with his T56, and Scott and I loved doing 80+mph for hours on end in Hersh's T56 Cobra in the US, but they both have IRS.
