Default New guy needing help

My name is Wes and I need help finding a shop. I have a 2001 chevy silverado 5.3 and i need to find someone that will do all the drivetrain at a performance shop near either Dallas, Houston, or close to Longview. Also kind of reasonable. Thanks Wes

What exactly do you need done? Did you post on PerformanceTrucks.net? Your username and password from here will also work there.

Bottom to the top of the engine...all redone maybe with a supercharger. Transmission, exhaust, with any computer work that needs to be done. I might even want to stroke the 5.3 just trying to get ideas and who to go to.

I can do the rear axle build & R&R the tranny to get built, but I don't mess with the motor at all. I know some really good shops to do a built Automatic. The place in Ft Worth charges about $1800 for a complete performance build. I charge $1550 total to a complete build on the rearend. Includes Eaton True Trac posi, any ratio of GM gears, all new bearings/seals, TA Performance girdle, and hardened Moser axle shafts. Also, my labor to R&R the tranny is $300 + fluid.

By the way, you will need a tranny cooler. I can do a B&M Supercooler with a custom bracket (nice clean fit) made at a CNC machine shop, and installed. All for about $200. I'd be glad to help you out, just let me know.

Actually, I am hiring a new guy at my shop who is DAMN good with engine work so I can help you out there as well. I'd be glad to put together a complete package deal, so you can get it all done at my shop.
