Well one problem you'll run into is getting a quality job done for that price. Especially if you are looking to include the Converter.

If you can get me the car, I will remove the transmission, build it to our Stage 2 specifications, build the converter and install them for $2,350.00.

Lot's of guys have made the drive up from your area for us to do this. Some have even gotten a room at a Motel blocks away from us. They have driven up on a Friday morning and left Saturday afternoon with a whole different animal!

Let me know if this interests you.

If it were a six speed i would say six speed inc. But since its an auto i would go with ARD AdvancedRacingDynamics. They can help you out.

Yes. That price would include the 3,600 Stall Torque Converter and Stage 2 4L60E Stage 2 Transmission .... installed.

817-605-3151 is the shop phone #.

I am loading up the truck right now to head over to the Fort Worth Rod and Custom Show. I have a display booth there... So I will be in and out the next few days.

But, do call when you get a chance... In my absence John can handle anything you need!
