Default Alrighty: Transmission Replacement Choices

I've searched through the archives and can't come up with much on a topic that I know has been beated to death. Well I'm going to whack the proverbial horse one more time- for good measure.

Going off a previous post, I need a new 700R4 transmission. To save costs I plan on installing it myself, so from WHOM do I purchase one? This is a relatively mild 383ci hi-flow TPI motor that I like to occasionally stomp on. Unfortunately, price is the biggest factor right now (I'm still in school), so no conversions or GearVendors quips, please.

:cheers:

Don't forget about the Raptor.

I remembered it (the raptor) but have seen recent posts suggesting the quality and Customer Service is not always there.

Hmmm, I was really considering the Raptor. Fill me in on the problems that you have read/heard.
