is $580 to high? Should I keep shopping around? I plan on rebuilding the engine in my 90 this summer.
This is a pep boys price. Should I try to do the transmission at the same time? or just take it to a shop?

if you feel that you could rebuild the tranny, go for it, but the are easy to f-up
That's the same thing I was thinking, they are easy to screw up on, whereas the engine is mainly seal replacement.
 
When I priced Master kits for the 2.5 $450-$500 was about average. Have you checked with ww.Northernautopart.com? When I was looking they have the best price. 307.46 with NAPA comeing in second. However I did not get either so I do not know what is in them nor what the quality is like. They list the 4.0 87-90 for $413.00. Maybe one of the guys that has rebuilt their 4.0 will chime in.
