Ok, the car is ready and I am picking it up today. Total cost is $1950 plus tax. Shop told me he had about $1250 in it himself. He is a long time family aquaintance and a long time customer of my fathers so I know he helped me out a little. But, this will let you know what it takes to have it rebuilt with a full kit as well as rebuilding the convertor. I will get him to give me a breakdown on all the cost.

I know he spent some more time on it last wed as they were having trouble with it staying in park and had to change something so he does have some labor in it and it is not easy to get it out of the car.

Now to see how she runs with the new engine work and tranny!!! Yea me...it has only been 174 days since I have actually driven it and it worked properly. Couple days short of 6 months and only about 100 miles on the car.

Here we go.....
