I used Keith Harley of KMH Motors. He did an amazing job. The price was fair and he was great at communicating.
I got the car back last Friday. It is awesome as a 5 speed....

Wow, that was fast! Can anyone recommend someone in Southern California for the same swap? I had the tranny rebuilt at 90,00 and it lasted until 343,00 but now it's shot and I'm ready for a swap!

Just a ball park how much did it cost?
