Default Any good trans/rearend shops in Mass???

ok. I think that my trans is gone and I know my rear is f'd up. I need to get in contact with some one that can built me a good trans and a killer rear. the only problem is that they have to fit a 2001 Silverado. I would like to stick with a 4l60/65e or a 80e, but I want a trans break. As for the rear, I just need something that can handle some power.

I used one of PurEvl's friends to set my new gears. He cost's a little more than everyone else but I was happy the way my car came out.

Thanks. But I think I am in the market for a whole new rear (axles, gears, locker....). Had a very loud, crunching noise come out of the rear that last time i drove it and now it doesnt even move. When I *** up I *** up good

that is what I was thinking. Does anyone know how to get a hold of him??? I used him like 2 years ago and he built me a bad *** trans. The only reason it failed was bc of a failed solinoid that broke and f'd up the clutches.

Buddy does great work but Keith is alittle better and the warranty is insane So far Curtis has run a ton of very low 11 second and a handfull of 10 second passes in his 3750lb car,nevermind all the Boston daily traffic and the tranny hasn't missed a beat.
