I am going to be buying a valve body and torque converter here in the very near future, can the billet Int. band apply strut & anchor, billet aluminum 4 ring piston be installed when putting in the valve body with out dissassemble of the transmission? Can I jusy drop the pan and get get the upgrades installed? I know the tranny has to get pulled for the torque converter

 

Yes, the band anchor, strut, and accumulator can be done with the VB off.

 

The band strut and accumulator can be done without tranny disassembly. I don't know about the anchor though... Isn't that part of the band itself? Since you're going to be changing those parts, why don't you get a billet front servo or at least front servo cover. I saw one here in the classifieds. Word of advice, don't start taking the valve body out until you have this "micro-hockey stick" tool for re-inserting the e-clip onto the valvebody during installation. You can probably make one but unless you have something for that e-clip, it's very hard to put back on.

 

The anchor is a separate piece, it can be done at the same time. Now the apply lever is a different story.
