What to build or buy?????

I pretty much need a new tranny I need some Ideas or sug. on what to do for the price

should I look for a aftermaket built 700r4
or just have my old one built ????

The reason that I ask is that there isn't really any good trans. shops here to do anything H.P. built "that I think would do a good job" or is shipping it off an option at all for the price??
any help or ideas would help
thanks

One last try

I need some advice

should I bother looking for a pre-built aftermarket tranny or am I better off sending my old one off?

thanks if anyone can give me some advice

It would probably cost more to send yours out. Prebuilt ones will have all the performance parts included.
