Does anyone know if he is doing ok, health wise ? A buddy of mine had Joe build a 451 and 572 short blocks years ago. He also had Joe build him a 727 with a brake, Joe gave him a deal on the trans. I called him for a trans and he gave me the same price as my buddy, I believe at the time it was 1250, instead of 1500. I was happy with it, worked great, couldn’t kill it. Hope he’s ok, hope you get your money.
