He is running a 3400lb 68 B-Body with a 499cid and a dana 60 with 4:10 gears. Currently foot braking. Looking for any advice on who to buy one from such as ATI, A&A, or whoever else?

North Central: Lofgren Auto Specialties in Minnesota, chuck originally built the trans that is in my race car. I had it updated/freshened by Dave at Pro Trans a few years back Central US: by all means....John Cope is a very proven vendor and races what he builds.... actually all three of the guys I mentioned race their own Mopars!

My advice is to get a list of the new parts that will be used, and compare the total price to that list. ie steel or aluminum front drum billet rear servo type of clutches and steels planetaries sun shell valve body deep pan (type) etc.
