i was out on the trail today and i noticed my trans bands are starting to go. so i guess its time for some new parts. i know that ill be re gearing my diffs to 4.56, and getting powertrax no-slip lockers, but im unsure what to get for my trans and tc. sooner or later im going to be dropping a blueprint 408 stoker in her so i figure i better build up the trans and tc now. im looking to get a nice torque converter, and some heavy duty bands, but im unsure what to look for. as for the tc im not sure what will be a good upgrade. any suggestions would be great. thanks

Rebuild Parts Recommendations & Costs
Source: by Broader Performance via & by OX1
Looks like for 850$, they give you these parts in the rebuilt tranny.
I get about 675$ in parts. Thats not to say you could to just use a cheap kit and probably be fine for most apps, but this deal looks pretty good with labor less than 200$.
5 Clutch Direct Drum
This drum will hold 5 full thickness friction and steel plates. Specify with or without drain holes. Also specify **** modification for running over 6000 rpms. Price: $ 80.00
Welded Flex Band
This band has the struts welded to the sheet metal to prevent the ears from being torn off due to high pressures and weak rivets. Band is lined in a Carbon/Kevlar blended material. Reliability is close to a rigid band with costs similar to flex bands. Recommended for applications over 400 horsepower. Same as used in our 500HP build transmissions. Helps eliminate a common weak point in this transmission due to large servos and high ratio servo levers.
Price: $ 40.00
F Ratio Servo Lever 2.30:1 Ratio
This is a reproduction of Fords F ratio servo lever. This lever is a must for any high performance application and eliminates the need for expensive R servos during an overhaul. Use with small readily available stock servos. Transmission must be removed for installation. Price: $ 25.00
A fully rebuilt high performance valve body featuring improved **** flow and shift timing. Each valve body surface is lapped on our lapping table to ensure flatness and proper seal. Choose from stages 1-5 or our special Work Truck/RV calibration. Stage 1 is a soft shift progressing to Stage 5. Stage 5 is a hard shift and is recommended for use with higher stall torque converters. Valve bodies will hold 1st and 2nd gear positions at your command. Specify pre or post 1976 year transmission. If you are unsure of which year you have, order post 1976.
Price: $ 150.00
Heavy Gauge Oil Pan This is a new oil pan made of a thicker than OEM sheet metal. Helps prevent leaks. Pan is the deeper 1976up style. Can be used on any year 2wd C6.
Price: $ 25.00
