    Dennis Maroudas-- Williamson WV

    He even did something like a 30s caddy trans for the father of another board member. He is an engineer by formal training.

    606 237-6648

    He is doing a 442 Muncie trans for me currently.

    If you talk to Dennis you will be suprised at the details and so many twists and turns one can take in a rebuild -- gear ratio, gear manuf, case machine work, tire rear ratio measurements for the speedo gear selection etc.

    I used Ed Hartnett.

    He does all the Corvette Muncies.

    GREAT place - price, shipping, everything.

    A-1 in my book.

    Ed Harnett 4-Speeds, 610-623-9381, PA;

    He is in Pennsylvania, and has been doing it since 1974.

    Chris, I had Ed Hartnett completely go through my Stage 1 4-speed transmission and he did a perfect job. Very detailed, asked good questions, will outline exactly what you need or want. I can pretty much promise you he will do a great job for you.

    Chris-- Dennis M has a big Pontiac following as well as MOPARS. But he does 3 speeds and old odd ball trans than no one else will touch. He is a real problem solver and a craftsman. he loves the challenge of solving a puzzle.
