Will look into a different trans...

As far as trusting his work...he said hes an ASE Apprentice at a GM dealership..so im guessing hes in training for ASE certification?? Not sure...but...I mean, even if not properly built...the platform and aftermarket on the car alone is almost work it, I would think...the body is pretty good except a few small rust spots that are just starting to appear, and 2 cracks in the front bumper...car wont be a daily drive so i have some time I can have it sit if need be for fixing things..I guess, well base it on, if it didnt run at all, would you still? For the body/engine mods alone then plan to just use the body and aftermarket parts on an engine you build? Dont know...it almost seems worth it even if it came to that worst case
