So, it's time for a rebuild... Anyone have any suggestions on what to get for the T56 Tremec? A friend referred me to thegearbox.org, they have a master rebuild and basic. I know nothing about transmittions whatsoever.

First, let's start with how to spell transmission...

Sorry - just couldn't pass up that opportunity. Explain to us why your transmission already needs to be rebuilt?
