Default installing valve body with TB... too hard?

I'm getting ready to drop the transmission to swap converters and I'm fairly confident I can pull that off without having to call the tranny doctor, BUT I am in need of a transbrake and wondering just how hard or complex is the installation of a transbrake valve body. Is there any literature out there that would be best for do-it-yourselfers like me?

Thanks

EDIT: its going into a TH350 on a sbc

It bolts right in. Don't lose/misplace any of the little check ***** in the VB.

The brake solenoid should replace the vac. modulator if it's anything like a th400.

Most brakes do not use any check ***** and the trans will need to be diassembled for modifications of the HI-REVERSE/direct drum. Vince

one sounds easy, one sounds borderline too hard for me. This may be a dumb question but is there any guides floating around out there, or even something I can purchase to help.
