If your looking to save some cash with the valve body I would recommend the transgo shift kit. I have driven mine pretty hard for about 15K and have had zero problems. For torque converters HTS and Goerend are very popular. I don't know about HTS but Goerend has a lifetime warrenty. I have the Suncoast nad have no complaints. The Torque converter will probably run around $1300. If you do the TC you might as well do the flexplate too. I went with a BD diesel one mainly because the price was right at the time, look at around $400ish at a flex plate. The input shaft is a good idea too. I can't remember what i paid for mine. Suncoast also makes a rebuild kit with upgraded clutches and steels and such. I got all mine through Jason at dieselnutmotorsports.com. They are one of the site sponser here.
