it's been awhile since i've done one so i've forgotten all the specifics. you want to use a high strength turbo input shaft, billet clutch hub, billet servo, pro light trans brake, good clutches and steels, cast deep pan. it's also a good idea to install a needle thrust bearing (it's a GM PN) i might have the PN for the bearing. to do this requires turning the front pump on a lathe. at the minimum you're going to want the stock 1.76 gear set with the 1.80 straight cut aftermarket set being preferred. the 1.76 will take some abuse but it is after all a stock part. though i can't remember the size (very small) i was told to drill a hole in the face of the clutch piston to bleed off any valve body leakage. when the clutch applies the steel will cover the hole to block it off. you'll need an adapter plate setup, ultrabell or either a reid or ATI case/bell to adapt it to the chrysler. i can't remember for certain but the stator support may require some attention as well. the input shaft used to be run on a bushing in the stator support but they went to putting the bushing in the convertor to aid in convertor fluid flow.

like i said it's been years since i did one and i'm sure things have changed. i had everything written down but i know i've since lost it. like anything else you can do one relatively inexpensive or you can spend a kings ransom.
