check the raleigh craigslist for a tranny; I noticed one on there a few days ago for $1200, and dont know if thats really all that great but its at least within a 4-5 hour drive from you.

Well, if you need any instruction, I'd be happy to help you. Solo2 Instructor and I also still hold my semi-pro license.

I'd contact some of the LS1Tech sponsors on the side ... I know at least a few of them must have something for ya. If not, I'll get in touch with Stevey (me and him raced each other in the IKF years ago) and I know he's from the area and knows many engine and trans builders and shops.

The best thing always is to find a sponsor you like (I'm in touch with Performabuilt tranny's atm about a 700r4 and/or 4l80e) and ask if they can recommend any shops in your area for the install (ones they work with). That way, if you order their tranny, it's being done at a shop they know, so it's less likely you'll wind up SOL like I was (ordered a new injector pump online, had it installed at a dealer, and the pump died within a week. Neither place would take responsibility for the failure).
