I do like the guy already, he has been building them for a long time, and even builds full race transmission's, but what do you think? is he giving me a rebuilt tranny? or is he just using the case?

If this rebuilder is using upgraded components(i.e.alloy gearsets,fiber blockers steel bearing retainer etc),that doesn't sound like a bad deal at all.As for him wanting your old core,he has to get them somewhere if he runs an exchange program.
