Turbo 350 rebuilt kit suggestion

I’m going to rebuild my turbo 350 out of my 72 C10. I don’t tow or haul anything, it’s just a cruise around town. I’m also rebuilding the SBC 350, it’s going back basically stock. With that said, I’ve been looking at rebuild kits and came these, what’s your thoughts on this kit or similar ones. Anyone have experience or suggestions?

Make sure you change all the bushes in the case and drums.

Use install sleeves for all lip seals in clutches.

Make sure the case is not cracked and there are no stripped bolt holes.

Install a rebuilt convertor and flush out the radiator cooler lines and cooler before installing

Have fun

Re: Turbo 350 rebuilt kit suggestion

Red Eagle clutches and kolene steels. Are more geared towards higher HP, higher heat, racing/heavy duty towing applications. They slip less and grab faster. Which can be objectionable to some drivers

Which kinda sounds like the opposite of what your building. But, they are excellent quality fictions and steels

If the trans has never been rebuilt before, or its history is unknown. You will be better off with a more inclusive kit.

Re: Turbo 350 rebuilt kit suggestion

The transmission is original to the truck with 76k miles. Based on the history of the vehicle, I am confident it has never been apart. Someone in another forum (Chevelle Forum) suggested green clutches. I personally don't know the difference between red and green. This is so far what I have come up with:

• Alto 44008HE High Energy Deluxe Kit Contents:
- All frictions and steels (Forward, Direct, Intermediate, Low/Reverse)
- Front/Intermediate band
- Pump & rear bushings
- Gaskets, seals, rings, O-rings, piston seals
- Filter and vacuum modulator
• TransGo 350-1&2 Shift Kit or B&M (Not sure which one)
- Improves shift quality and durability
- Fixes factory cross-leaks
- Crisp but street-friendly shifts
• TCI High Performance Flex Band (Heavy Duty) Part #: 325100
• Complete Bushing Kit Options:
- TCI 77010CK (premium)
• Thrust Washer Kit
- TransParts Warehouse 44200
• Transmission Mount
- Anchor 2265
