Just be careful what rear end ratio you use. If it is geared too high the trans will overheat. I originally had a 3.08 in it and that was a no-go. Installed a 3.73 and all was well.
Here is a thread with some info. Be sure and check out the link in post #14.
As far as purchasing ask around at some of the trans shops in your area so you can pick it up and talk to someone face to face if you have problems.

I'm leaning towards using Bowtie, but have had some issues getting in contact with them. I have 3.07 gears. Where did you have over heat issues? I was hoping to keep my gearing. I do have a trans cooler though.
Also, can you post that thread again? I don't see a link.
