A little more... $2200!
Their performance rebuild kit is $506 and "hydro system" shift kit upgrade
is another $150.

As I've neared the point where I have the financial means to do the 360
swap I've started to worry about my A500 also. To me it makes since to
beef up the tranny first instead of having a nice 360ci Dakota that doesn't
go anywhere. $650 dollars plus time doesn't seem like a bad price for
what they promise as a "high performance", "bulletproof" trans. Anybody
have any thoughts on making our older autos more race ready?
