Default Trans Question...

Anyone heard of an outfit called "Gear Star Performance Transmissions, Inc.(www.gearstar.net)" They are advertising a TH350 "Chevy 350 Level 2 - 400 HP with 1800-2000 Stall HD Furnace Brazed High Performance Converter" for $1095 & about $150 delivered to my door. Sound about right or any recomendations?

Thanks!

If your going to do that, go ahead and get the 2004r so you get the extra gear

Check with Mad Dog transmissions out of Florida. They have a website and a ebay account running specials all the time.

I gave around $ 800.00 shipped for my 700r4 with a shift kit and a high stall torque convertor.

I agree go with a transmission with overdrive sinceyour buying a new one anyways.....makes a huge difference

Sounds great... What mods need to be made to the mounts to get it to fit? Is there any driveline cutting involved?
