   What a bunch of snakes - you could buy a pretty darn nice Imperial for
that kind of money. Out here in R.I. I can get a torqueflight rebuilt almost
anywhere for five or six hundred bucks.
   If nobody else has a solution for you, I'll try to get in touch with my
San Diego relatives - they're mostly new-car people, but they have a motor
home with a 440 / torqueflight powertrain.
   Good luck, and good riddance to that tranny shop.
