Valve body will give you best bang for the buck. VB and torque converter would be a good start.

Which VB, Trans go shift kit or the whole VB? And if your going to do the TC might as well do the flywheel and input shaft.

I was planning to ask the same stuff soon. :ditto:

What VB?

Everyone says buy a VB and some other parts, but never give a brand name or any details for us NEWBS. Where do we look and what are we looking for?

I don't mind tearing into a auto. I rebuilt the TH350 that is in my Jeep now, granted that's the easiest auto in the world to rebuild. I ain't scared.

HTS all the way.

Where do we find HTS stuff? Did a quick google and didn't find them.

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.

HTS uses Suncoast TC's.
