The Trans Am we pulled the T56 from was a 10 sec car with a worked motor, heads, nitrous, racing slicks, and more. The trans fluid was clean when we pulled it, and is still going strong.

Did you get the control module for the headlight motor (ideally with a bit of the wiring harness that goes to and come from it)?
Because you gonna need one eventually.

Yes, I have the Corvette module with the pigtail. I have everything for the McSpeed Killer Lights install. I even ordered the brass gear upgrade for the headlight actuators. http://www.rodneydickman.com/n113.html

Just remember not all T56's are the same. Quite a few variations in gearing and power handling. Looks like Mike picked up a pretty good setup for his gearing.

(Look at the table 3/4 way down the page)
