TH350 rebuild kit recommendations

the original trans in my 70 F-85 summer daily driver. 152K mile as built from factory unit leaks like crazy and slips on occasion. I have a friend lined up to rebuild it, just looking for recommendations on rebuild kits. It's a driver only. No track time. No stop light drags. No towing. I plan to replace the torque convertor too. Any suggestions like B&M, ATI, etc?

Thanks

From what I read b and m is pretty basic aftermarket stuff so I'd use them I may be wrong but I need to learn if I am

Juniorsupercar I have a th350 I rebuilt. If you want to try it out and it works pay me what the kit cost which is the b&m kit like 200 bucks and its yours. My friend and I machined the drums to hold the extra clutches and its got the shift kit . its all ready to go. I also have a th400 that worked very well in my 72 and I have the driveshaft that goes with it. I will sell it all for 300 . Im going to a th350 so the th400 was my back up but I have 3 th350s here one built and one on the bench im working on.

The th400 has no provision for the kick down solenoid if I remember correct but it still kicked down on occasion.

thanks copper. I have enough trans at this point. Might need a dent free TH350 pan though. Since this car retains it's born with drive line, I'm just going to rebuild what I have.
