Circle-D transmission did a TH350 for me some years ago. It rocked. They ain't cheap, but they'll do it right.

"Century" out in Richmond is a good place also. But they are not cheap either.

Owen/Jay @ ARD on Addicks-Satsuma.

They're board-members, F-body enthusiasts, and
stand-up guys. You won't find a better price.

Re: Transmission Help in Houston,Tx plz

over on ls1tech there has been a lot of bad things happen with century in richmond. including the one they built for me in a 2002 chevy silvy. paid $3000 with converter. blew it up twice. then found they only put in 4 gear sprags insted of the good 5 ones. will never go there again as well as other people. circle d is the one doing them all now. plus they guarentee you will not blow up there converters. oh yeah--century has them do there converters as well.

I know a guy off i10 that has rebuilt 2 700r4's for a us for trucks. 600 with the new convertor is what we paid for each. Guy did a good job and knew his shyt. Works for himself out of his house.
