Don't get that book for your tranny, it is for a turbo 350. You'll need one for a 700r4 which I can't find at the moment. I recommend you buy the book before buying your parts and read through it. There are a lot of special tools, some of them you may need to locate. For most you will be able to improvise. I was able to improvise all of them on my 350, but the 700r4 is a little more complex. To do a performance rebuild, just grab yourself a good set of clutches and steels. The Hughes kits get the job done. They don't come with any valve body modifications, but even without, my 1-2 full throttle shift is firm enough to chirp my 265 wide tires.
