Turns out the full instructions for converting to manual shift are also on the tech archive Here . Looks like there is a warning that the transmission will no longer have coast braking in first, I assume this means no LBA?

Correct, LBA has coast braking in first.
I will be replacing a TurboAction RMVB, with a Coan RMVB w/ LBA since the car will be street driven. Don't need the stress of worrying about anything going wrong if my wife decides to take the car to the 7-11.
There's more to making the trans LBA than just swapping the valve bodies. I don't know if they're all the same or not. See installation pdf on this link if interested.

Is there any drawback to a forward pattern/lba VB? I like the forward pattern on the factory slapstick and don't want to change it.
From talking w/ Turbo-Action and reading stuff elsewhere, a RMVB design is faster on the track for reasons I can't explain (not a tranny guru).
I have a FMVB w/ my factory Slap-Stik for exactly the same reasons you stated. Works for me.

I had to regrind/weld the shift gate in my column shift for my mud bogging truck, we routinely shift a ton and that shift into Neutral or reverse sucks.

call john cope. get one of his. CRT hands down.
+1. John da man! 
+2. call John at CRT - LBA RMBV + bolt in sprag + billet drum
It's a crap shoot - I know people that have raced for 20 years with less and have had no issues. I also have a friend who used a non-LBA RMVB and a stock drum. It was built by a well known transmission guy and it grenaded on him and tore up his car and cost him a body part...

I always heard the reason for reversing the pattern was so you're shifting away from neutral/reverse instead of toward it 
I raced my buddies Duster for him and he had a forward pattern manual V/B and I hated shifting while racing having to push the shifter forward. I am just so used to the reverse manual V/B and it just makes more sense when racing your car to pull the shifter towards yourself. Ron
