1275, 210 5 speed, adapter kit, 3.90

[Rut]

Happy Monday everyone! I'm starting to search for a 210 rebuilt transmission, but I would prefer a complete setup if available. As most of you know I lost everything in a fire and I really need everything from the cooling fan to the 3.9 rear end. The setup I lost was one that included what I consider the best of all combinations and at this point I will consider both Gerards and Rivergates kit. I'm also looking for a complete rebuilt 1275 outright as I have no cores...mine was a .060 over, 9.5:1, 276 cam with a ported head and all arp hardware...it even had a timing cover stiffener to prevent leaks. If you have one or know someone who does I would love to talk to you!
Thanks, Rut

Rut, try Mickey Pleasant in SAN Diego. He has a number of rebuilt 1275's available.

I second Jim Gruber, but you better hurry because he sold his Bugeye and he may be getting out of the business of building 1275's

Jim,
I spoke with Mickey yesterday and he sent me all the info I needed. Funny that while I was based out of Carlsbad for 10 years I was not at the Bugeye stage yet...I was just starting to look. I will probably go with paying the core charge once (if) we get the insurance sorted out.
Thanks, Rut
