There has to be a trans parts shop in Miami- There are lots of vendors that sell "master" overhaul kits but some of them are nearly double the price of what you can get quality parts at a trans parts supplier.
Short list of good parts-
Kolene steel plates, ALTO faced clutch plates (usually red in color), Trans-Go shift kit. There is someone that has a really good set of bands for a 400 but I can't recall the name. And don't forget to add the HD sprag clutch.
One little trick for a 400-- the clutches and steels for a 4L80E trans are the same diameter and shape, just a little bit thinner, meaning you can add and extra pair of plates for extra holding power if you're doing any serious stuff. Just make sure you keep the end clearance in the packs.

Thanks for your reply.
It is need for my friend from Moscow. He is very happy that he bought his lifelong dream -1974 Corvette and tinkering with it as a child
Most likely he is going to buy from e-bay
What do you recommend?
Thank you
