I had Kenny's Transmission in Greenwood rebuild my tranny a couple of years ago. Very happy with their work.
Not sure about the differential, but they might do that.
What year are you working on? Is it driveable?

It’s 1997 and yes it is drivable I’ll give them a call. I picked up a really good deal on a transmission & a differential looking for someone to install them. Thanks for the tip.

Companies make trans adapters to go from Chevy to other GM and Vice/versa. Summit Racing or Jeg's probably have them.

Default Who did you end up using?

Eric--

Who did you end up using? I'm in Broad Ripple and looking to have my 2.79 dana 36 switched (or rebuilt) to 3.54, plus torque converter.

Thanks,

Ronn
