whats the cheapest a T56 swap can be done for?

My auto tranny is toast, been getting worse and worse since the beggining of january . Nobody knows whats wrong, all I know is that I can't afford to get it rebuilt. I have about $700 right now. I was thinking of getting a bike and waiting a few paychecks and swapping in a t56. How much do you guys think I could do it for? thanks

I did mine for $800, but most people pay $1500.
This is only the price of the change-over parts and no labor.
We install our own parts.

I've swapped trannies before, I'd have no problem putting a weekend in and doing it myself. How'd you get the stuff so cheap?

My friend had a 93 Formula that he bought for a drag car, fixed it up somewhat and then blew up the motor. I offered him $800 for the T56 setup, he said ok, and I bought it.
I also got a bunch of other parts from the car too, valve covers, new starter, radiator, fans, dash pad, door panels, etc...
