Default good vender for a t56 - lq4/lq9

I am about to buy my t56 magnum for my 67 firebird (was a automatic)....I am looking for a complete kit and have talked to a few venders with american powertrain being one of them. I am curious who provided the best service and quality/fit for this purchase...who would you recommend for this?

Thanks,
Henry

Same here, and AP has an outstanding debt with me. Scott, Jim, and Traci at Hurst are good genuine people.

I just bought a T56 Magnum transmission and a hydraulic clutch kit from Hurst Driveline. They delivered... good sales, technical support, and install instructions. I would buy from them again in the future.

Hmmm,
Interesting, I have been researching vendors to purchase a t56 kit from and AP was one of the vendors I was looking at. I guess I will pass on them. Summit sells the Hurst Driveline T56 kits. Because I have had such good experience buying parts from Summit over the years that's where I plan to buy my T56 kit.

I'm getting ready to make this purchase as well. I am buying from Summit and not thinking twice about it. I research everything to death down to the last washer, so I'll be damned if I'm gonna be held up by some boner just because he's a sponsor of a site. I order from Summit, I get an email confirming it, charged when it's shipped, an email with a tracking number, Hurst gets a wholesale sale, and the part shows up on time. End of transaction. I'm impatient and not a very nice person, so I just save flaky vendors the agony. It's a service I provide them.

All of this is really wild to me based all on all of our past experiences with A.P. including our last one I posted about yesterday in the vendor feedback section. I am definately not questioning anyones story here so dont take it the wrong way , but generally a "bad" company is bad across the board and not hit or miss, just my .02
