I'd use the Sonnax shell rather than the Beast (although for the moderate power you're talking about, either is OK, can't go wrong either way), and DEFINITELY the Vette servo. Also the Transgo shift kit. Follow their instructions about notching the servo. The Sonnax roller thrust bearing kit to replace the thrust washers. A NEW input drum, because the band rides on the outside of it, and it almost always ends up warped. Find a 65E if you can and get the 5-gear planets out of it. Replace ALL the bushings. Look VERY closely at how the reaction carrier shaft fits into the input gear; replace both if it's not tight.
