TransGo Rprogramming kit and the Hi Rev release springs that come with it. TransGo Hi Rev Pump Ring Kit. 4l60E 3-4 pack and Input Sprag Assembly. All Borg Warner frictions. Corvette rear planetary. NEW GM Sun Shell. Minimum endplay settings. Depending on power, 553 Servo or 093 (Vette). .422" PR Boost Valve for small block, .477 for big block or HIGH power small block. .282 Int/Rev Boost Valve. TruCool LPD cooler and bypass the radiator.

The converter choice depends completely on the power band of the engine. Your stall should be at or just below where your engine STARTS to make power and the WOT shift points should be set so that it is completed BEFORE the power starts to fall off (NOT your max RPM). A top quality converter supplier is Continental: The number for Continental Converters in Inglewood Ca. is 1-310-674-1072

I would build it as Leo says and use the vette servo or bigger and the bigger boost valves if you like firm shifts and have anything other than a stock engine.
I have a 700 in an S-10 with the 553 servo shimmed without the cushion spring and the .471/.282 valves, it shifts strong especially because it weighs a light 3000 pounds.


I would also go to the transmission center for parts since they have a picture and detailed description of most parts they sell.
