Ok, you guys talked me into rebuilding myself, I need help now ;)
I haven't messed with the air pressure tests yet but I plan to, for sure. My goal is to not have to pull the transmission out after it's in :P
I gave up on the 5 thins and ordered four of the regular thickness alto frictions. That's now my last item needed to button this thing up and get it in the car. More than likely this transmission is more than enough for any engine I'll put in this car but at an additional cost of like $12 the 5 disc upgrade was very attractive.
I'm getting really pumped to see how (if?) it works!
