robertk Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Hello all, I am new to this group, I've owned many corvettes and my wife and I currently own a mint low mile restored white on black 1980 and a 2010 Jetstream blue Grand Sport. I am in the northwest valley (Bell and 303 area) I am trying to find an old school mechanic for the 1980, I am in the automotive collision industry my whole life and do all my own work from body/paint, suspension, exhaust, interior etc but would like to find a local mechanic that works on older stuff. I want to add a 200R4 to my 1980, I used to install these back in the 90s when I could find them and transmission shops to install them. I can find a completely rebuilt 200R4 but need to find a mechanic or trans shop that would do the install, pretty straight forward install with no mods needed for the 200R4 over the TH350... any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

old yeller Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Both Vettes look GREAT. Not Westside but Scottsdale area, numerous members have had good luck with Vintage Iron (480) 922-2480. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind a little distance to go for this project, don't want to order the 200R4 till I find someone, thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extender32 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Vintage Iron is Scottsdale for sure. They've done quite a bit of work on my wife's 78. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave64 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Vintage Iron gets my vote, also. They are straight shooters and very good at what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extender32 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Have them look at your neutral safety switch too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccaneer Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 X3 vote for Vintage Iron. Both the 200R4 and 700R4 will work for your 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
