Do you have a decent tool set? That and TWO BOOKS is all you need to do it yourself.
Chuck Lofgren is in the twin cities area. I'm in the very NW corner of Iowa, so probably a little too far away. We do Torqueflites on a regular basis.

After some research, I decided that I'm not going to tackle this project myself. I don't have the time or patients to rebuild the transmission. Any recommendations for a reputable shop are welcomed.
I remember talking to a guy at the drag strip last summer, said he had KTRE in Blaine build his motor and tranny.
I think it’s Knowlton and Thunderheads Racing Engines.

There's a shop on Minneapolis Craigslist I had them do my 727 derby trans and it still holding up. Have it back in 24 hours if they aren't busy was $500 at that time. Looks like $600 now
Chuck is one smart cookie! I remember when his “shop” was a clean room in the back of his garage in Coon Rapids.

You might try Remington transmissions, the owner John is quite good and stands behind his work
