i did just the same thing and spent 600+ just on a basic build and I get stuff close to cost
retail-
valve body 150
input shaft 100
front pump 150
dual servo 40
clutch hub 30
deep pan 100
full rebuild kit 130
$700

You need to know if it has a stamped steel carrier or a cast iron carrier.
The stamped steel carrier has 1.8x gears while the cast carrier has 1.76's.
The stamped carrier won't handle that sort of h/p very long.
We build glides all the time that can take what you are putting down. The basic build starts at $950.00 and goes up from there depending on your budget and needs.
Give me a shout if you are interested.
