Trans shop in San Jose area
Hey Guys My latest toy is an ol' school V8 Vega ex drag car that is being redone for the street. It is your basic small block with 2-4s sticking thru the hood, 60s narrowed Pontiac rear end (now that is real ol school :-) ) and a Turbo 400. I want to drive it on longer drives, so I want to swap out the 3 speed auto with a 700R4. Does anybody know or recommend a place in the San Jose area where I can drop the car and trans off, and they have the knowledge, and fabrication skills to do something like this.
I would probably do this myself, but I live in FL, the car is in San Jose at my brothers place, who does not have very much in the line of tools to do this kind of work. I am thinking about ordering a trans from Pro Built, unless there is a general consensus to go somewhere else. I am sure there are a bunch of shops that can build a 700R4 that can handle a sbc putting out about 450 hp 450 lbs of torque, but I need someone that can also build a 700R4 to go behind an 8-71 Blown 392 Hemi (built by Hemi Haines in FL) with about 750 hp so I am hoping for a bit of a price break :-)
Thanks,
Mike
