Looks good to me, seems you covered the weaker areas and should be ok.

You will also need a wide rear sungear bushing, wide stator support bushing, these are not included in your normal bushing kit. also a hd pump slide spring will help keep the 3-4 pack alive at high rpms..

Good luck with the Alto power-pack.

A set of hardened pump rings is cheap insurance also.

A new spacer plate would be nice.

At bare minimum I would change the pressure control solenoid, if not all solenoids.

1-2 plastic accumulator piston needs to be tossed in favor of an aluminum also.

Get the double sprag.
On the 5 pinion planetarty, make sure its not a cheap imitation ones that are out there. look them up on my thread.
I would get a non cork gasket $7.
With the sonnax reinforcement ring, read the instructrions carefully.
heres my 60e build thread https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=462047

One last recomendation, get a trans temp guage and 40k cooler.

Won't last long behind that TVS1900. You've chose the wrong 3-4 clutch pack, and the wrong band. IIRC, they each lasted about 6 weeks behind my MP112. In fact, I've yet to have ANY 4L65E last 12 months. I strongly recommend that you review this link, and make a phone call to them.

At the end of my thread on my 60e build I did wish i had gone with a built 80e from a sponsor. I burnt up about $3k on that thread. I could have converted over to a built 80e. Ive been up since 6am monday and did not read your sig until the previous post. zzz

x3 on the 80e with your setup.Ive been thru 4 -60e builds in 1000 miles, all lost 3-4 gear.

x2 on the Altos, stay away from them, i burnt up 3 sets of them quickly.

I would get the Borg warner high energy clutches.
