I see your point . But being you can drive there . Why not just load everything up and take it all back for a refund if you think you paid to much.
That ear can be spray welded back in place and the redrilled and milled. I would rather keep the original case the parts are in.
I had Shady Dell Speed shop break off both ears with dowel pins off my X block. While installing it on a dyno. My Son welded them with Shartanium rods. and had to biuld up the missing piece. Then re drilled for dowel pins. We also welded right rear lifter bores back in. They break from roller cams. on high number porous blocks. Weak area on -6 on up blocks.
What I am trying to say is its a $40.00 dollar fix with the trans together. I get $1200 for a complete set up with all parts. what you see is what you get.
I had a bad dealing with him myself. You have to think of what you left with for the money you paid. I wouldn't have given you a case for a broken ear that is an easy fix. Go to a junk yard with a hammer and bust off a ear from anything and put it on. The right shop and you will never see the repair. Steve
