Default Goodbye 406 Hello LS6

After spinning the mains on my 406 this weekend I've decided to swap over to a new style LS6. I'm also swapping from the Keisler to a T56 instead.
My plans right now are to use the fresh 487 rwhp LS6 out of my 00' in the 57' and take the 00' back closer to stock since it seems to break a driveline part every time it goes to the track and its my daily driver. I found a 22k mile LS1 for $2250. I'll probably throw a cam in it before I put it in the 00' Can't go back to completely stock

I'm also going to try the new GM/MSD/Edelbrock carb setup instead of the injection just to be different seeing as everyone is using the new style engines now.

If anyone wants a low mileage Keisler set-up for their car let me know.

I love the T-56 in my '62, but I'm curious as to why you are switching from the Keisler?

I really just want a six speed and am now less concerned about cutting the car up. The Keisler is great.
