Thanks for all the responses guys, this will help me a lot on Saturday. I called the yard, and he says he has tons of 350 turbos, $ 175.00 I pull it. They will pick up the car and set it on barrels.

I could go to Jackson Racing Transmissions and buy a mild 350 from them for about $ 450.00 plus shipping, which is really reasonable. I have bought 2 from them already and they are perfect in every respect. But because I am rushing this car and trying to do it close to the $ 3K budget I am going to look at the junk yard ones first. I may still go the Jackson route in the final analysis, because I am not sure if I really want to pull a tranny out in the sand on a hot Florida day either.

Thanks again for all the input and help.
