The Clueless One

Looking to do a tranny swap that requires some custom work such as cutting the floor board and possibly some other odds and ends I would like somebody who has experience in custom transmission work and knows what they're doing. preferably somebody you've been to personally or know personally thats capable of doing the job. Car:1987 Trans Am. The Job:Swapping a 1965 Muncie transmission.. I have the BMR torque arm relocation and full length torque arm due to the Muncie having no torque arm mount point..i've spoken to BMR and they told the mount place and everything should be same as factory even when using the muncie.. Hopefully having the BMR relocation eliminates alot of custom work that would be needed. Drop the shops number below or PM me Appreciate it, Bryan |

CK Performance did my rear end rebuild and 3.42 gear change. The gears are QUIETER than they were the day I got the car 10 years ago. Chris is the man. This dude is a perfectionist. He keeps working on your car until it's perfect. I'm completely happy with his work. Tell Chris Manny, Al and NY3G sent you. |

yeah dude rent a uhaul dolly or full trailer the full trailer is like $60 for the day, i prefer them over the dolly. Your in Glendale so there are places to get them close by. I live in middle village and got the trailer from the uhaul depot in woodside(BQE towards triboro exit 43 and its straight down if remember). However when you tell them what your hauling dont say firebird say a smaller car like a corrola or something because they will tell you the denali isnt recommended to use in towing a firebird |

Update: My T/A went to FB Performance on wenesday i went overthere today to meet Fred for the first time and talk about the muncie going into the car,after looking at what i had brought him it was pretty clear i didn't have everyting together as i thought i really had.. SO he talked me into going with one of his Turbo400's rated at 500hp 525tq with a full manual valve body,driveshaft,tranny cooler+lines,3000k stall,hurst shifter everything installed $2,200 I hope i made a choice for the better,never really thought i'd be putting an automatic into any of my cars but it seems to be the better route..but it's cool that i'll be able to shift through 1-2-3 More updates and pictures soon,i'll let you guys know how i like it Thanks, Bryan |
