It's hard to believe there could be that many issues from anybody building a Torqueflite. It's not that complicated. Get the parts that will survive the intended power level. Assemble it. Compared to building and engine, it's cake. Most everything is a bolts in. Now modified stuff like the Pro Trans with 904 guts that are fitted to any number of other type of cases is a different story. They are a very nice piece. Obviously many modified parts. But not hard to assemble. I've purchased parts from John in the past. They worked fine. Purchased plenty of stuff from Rick at A&A. Rick ships fast. His stuff is good. He's a good guy to talk to. Just like my engines. If there's a problem with assembly it's on me.
