904 Rebuild

Is he also R&R'ing the trans? Even if he is and your 904 needs a lot of hard parts that's crazy expensive. Look on www.coperacing.com and you'll see a Cope performance 904 with real good parts only sells for about $800. You can get a converter like you described for about $200-250. I've been rebuilding torqueflite's for 34 yrs. and unless the trans needed a bunch of hard parts I can't see the "out the door" price being over $700 built like you described. This guy is hosing you bad!!!
