Calgary Transmission shops

Hey, does anyone know an affordable shop in Calgary to take my 1990 Ford Van with 460 EFI and E40D to, for a transmission rebuild? I will have to tow it there, since it is really toast... I think the pump or converter exploded...
I have gotten prices around $1200, and I know I can save some money pulling it myself, but I have found myself too busy with work to do it. (plus the E40D is a heavy sucker to balance on my knees while under the vehicle!)

Do you want cheap and ?
Or reasonable and the best ?

Call my friend Gary @ National Transmission on 14 th st Nw.

Tell him Dennis (Hot Rod Santa) recommended him.

He really is the best Mark.

Thanks Dennis, I think I will do that!
A while back, I remember someone mentioning National up there.. Maybe it was you?
Do they also dyno test every unit after rebuild?

I don't know what Gary does in regards to that.

I know he sets/confirms up the shift pattern.

Maybe call and ask.
