You can send your T56 to D&D, RSG, Hanlon, Tick, or one of those places. You can ship in a Rubbermaid container.
Start calling around!

Gonna have to disagree with that first statement. You may be able to build a T56 to be as strong a stock magnum, but the magnum is a much better trans when done right. The larger 6060 gear sets will outlast any in a T56. This is especially important when the transmission will see stress for long amounts of time, like the TX Mile. With that being said, a stock out of the box Mag from Tremec will NOT fit in a 4th gen. Tick and RPM both sell modified units that bolt right in, and are also rated at 900+rwtq (Tick is the better deal IMO). I have the equivalent to that Level 3 in the link above and I don't see it lasting very long on the longer pulls. The one thing that seems to pro long the life of these T56s is installing a fluid sprayer system onto the trans to keep everything lubricated at speed...
