Bob's Driveline , expensive but probably the best around and stands behind his work.

I had my 700R4 built at Bob's and I told him to grosely over-build it because of my track records with tranny's. I've been told it is ready to hold 700+ hp but it cost $4500

having said that, he does do VERY high quality work :up: I've had 8 tranny's/diff's done there and none have EVER let me down, as well his quotes are ALWAYS very clost to the final bill, the worst one I got was about $50 over.

Bob's built my 1987 700R4 which was awesome - but i just pulled it to instal a T56.

Someone buy the auto! I spent $2500 on it at Bob's last summer not including the 2800 RPM stall. About 3500k's on it now. I'll let it go for $1800 complete.
