Question Finding A Shop

I have been looking for quite some time now to find a shop that will install a set of gears in my mustang, and i can't find anyone that wants to do it let alone seems capable of the job. Is there any way other than the phone book and google to find such a shop? Im out of sources here, and i didnt want to drive an hour to find a shop but its looking that way. Anyone recommend a shop from Northeastern Ohio?

Thats a shame your not close to me.. I'd do it for 150$

I work at a Ford dealer and we will install FRPP parts.... Labor rate is high but if you run into problems related to improper setup we will warranty the work...

Know any other mustang owners? Could probably just ask them where they got them done...I know i personally just asked around from other owners and eventually found this small performance shop that is amazing. But yea i would just ask around.

LOL yup, i asked all TWO of them..haha i really do live in a small town i guess. One guy didnt have gears done, the other did, but that shop moved to california...literally. Ever heard of Full Throttle Kustoms? They were local to me, i emailed them a few days ago--they emailed back saying they moved to Cali. lol.

check the regional forums for your area. that's what i did. there's usually a thread in there somewhere with someone asking the same exact question.
