Welcome, Dawson!  "Ford performance mechanic"?  Cool!  But, what is a performance mechanic?

Where in Georgia?  We could add you to the map if we had a zip.

Didn't you have a question about a tranny?

You are now on the map.  

Did you take an automotive course?  I know there are some around but haven't talked to anyone that did.

Anyway, glad you are here.  You'll find we have everything from bone stock, including all of the CA emissions, to seriously modified.  You'll fit right in.
