Thanks guys! Its not a T-56 because they don't handle the weight of these trucks well. It's actually a Gm NV4500 5 speed big beefy girl came behind 6.0s in 2500HDs and in Dodge HD trucks behind the legendary Cummins in the 90s. Its not a quick shifting a T56 but it can hold gobbs of power and doesn't mind being bang shifted. Plus the gear ratios are perfect for a DD/Tow rig.

If you get a GM NV4500 it's a direct bolt on swap. Factory crossmember even works.

Yes its dual 3" from the headers back with a small "performance" Catalytic converter on each bank and a giant flopro dual in dual out muffler. It's really quiet for what it is. I need to get some stainless tips put on but this thing gets all the abuse and no love since my other project is still in pieces.
