According to his website he still builds them. I can't speak about the TH350 but I have a 700R4 that he built and the thing is awesome. I highly recommend him.

I just spoke to Dana last week to thank him for my new Pro-Built 700R4 and he was mentioning he still does the TH-350's.

I have a TCI Streetfighter in my '69 and have no complaints, but I REALLY want to stress that Dana is extremely talented and extremely helpful.

Good luck with your decision.

I really want to go with pro built, but i find it hard to get in contact with him i am trying to find out how much truck freight will be for the transmission. i also realy want to use him because he uses the Transgo Shift kits in the TH350s. i'm pretty sure i am going with Pro Built
thanks!

Two things...call when vwdave suggests (2PM EST) and the other is that my freight cost was around $200 - $225 and that was only because I live in the middle of NOWHERE, and the freight company was balking about delivering it to my area.

You should make out much better. YMMV.

Pretty good. It still needs tuning. I GTECH'ed a 15.15@91 with the fuel pressure 10psi too high. I put in dana's Street/Strip 700R4 kit with a corvette torque converter. Helped alot. 1st gear is tire smoke now.

Hit me up on aim, havent talked to you in ages. Maybe you no luff me anymore?

Just a recommendation, you may want to look into JW turbo 350s.

Not saying probuilt's aren't well built, and I'd recommend going with him on 700r4s. But JW makes some extremly good turbo 350/400/glides.
