One more thing to consider are the trannys themselves. It costs about 200
bucks to rebuild an aluminum TF + another 100 for the torque converter.
Thats in my part of the world. Prices vary. However, a friend just had
over 400 in parts in his cast iron TF plus 400 in labor. On a previous cast
iron TF the price was 900 bucks IF you can find anyone who will work on
them. (or perhaps anyone who has ever worked on one before) Last thing you
want is some kid who's been rebuilding imports saying "Sheeeit, if its a
transmission, I can build it..."
