I had purchased 2 pre-smog manifolds for $10 at a swap meet. The 73 sbc had an AIR system and I had plugged the manifold ports but it never sealed well. I never knew ho...

Does anyone know of a good trans rebuilder in the Barrie, ON area? I've stuffed a 454 in my 71' Ventura and need the 700R4 rebuilt. Trying to make a street/strip bracket racer. Thanks Dave
