3.42s in Dallas
Any recommendations on the best place to get the stock 2.73 switched out with 3.42 in the Dallas area. I've seen a lot of references to SpeedWorks in Lewisville on the forum - is that a good place to start?

Re: 3.42s in Dallas (Ad2)
I know there has been mixed reviews, but I recently had my 3.42s replaced with a set of 3.73s by Huffines Chevy in Plano. If you're interested, talk to Keith Overhill in their service department. There are a couple of mechanics he's happy with there, one of which is supposedly a little slower but more meticulous. They did mine about 500 miles ago and so far everything seems fine. By the way, total install with fluids was a little under $500.

i would do either speedworks or lg motorsports. i would stay away from huffines in plano. the one had his getrag 3:73's installed at huffines and left with a nice scratch on his fender. and the first time at the track he broke the output shaft.

It's not an easy decision. I picked the brains of many local folks and never found a clear winner. Sorry that doesn't give you a definitive answer either, but it lets you know that so far I don't know of any shop that has stepped up on this particular task to emerge as an always-the-best-choice solution. :confused:

Ad2, do you have the 3.42s ? I'll sell mine outright for $800 plus shipping. You can keep your rear to sell. My rear came out of my 2000 Vette with 16,300 miles.
