A-518 Who has put one in an A-boby

Thinking about putting one in my 69 barracuda fb. Local Trans shop has one they will rebuild complete for 1500.00. Good Price?

If they're suppling the core and do a good job that's about right. Just the core on 518's are pretty high. If you supply the trans. core that's pretty salty unless alot of the hard parts (drums, gear sets, etc) need changed.
