I'm planning to get 4L80E built for my daily LS1 383ci turbo F-body. I want it to hold upto 1000HP (that's the most I hope to squeeze from this setup eventually). I can't purchase tranny build by sponsor (a bit over budget, plus shipping to Europe is expensive), so have to get it done locally.
What parts should I get for this build? It's clear after some research that input shaft better be changed but what else is necessary?
Also very important, is there any GOOD rebuild/upgrade kit I could buy?

Not much help on the trans parts, but be glad to help you with a converter.

Check shipping with Concordia Freight for international.
Exports International is a good broker as well.

A whole trans on a pallet may be cheaper than shipping parts and converter to your location.

Also there is more to the build than just the billet parts. The hydraulics and build quality have a large effect on the reliability.

If I decide to stretch my TC budget to 1K, more likely it will be your converter Based on member's opinions and that yours is lockable in 2-3 gears (don't really know whether I need it, but I'm hardcore stick guy so locked TC is closer to what I'm used to), from $1000 converters I would pick yours. I'm just not yet sure I can afford it

What do you mean by "hydraulics"? I know about build quality but don't want my builder to be 6000 miles away... I'll have to teach them using my own car as guinea pig here, locally
