c6 rebuild

as most of you know my bronco has been sitting for the past couple of months with a transmission that only goes in reverse. i've decided that i'm going to attempt to do a rebuild on my own. I already ordered the haynes rebuild manual.

basically I want to know what I should buy to make this thing perform and last for a long time with mainly offroad duties. I'm running a stock 400, and i doubt i'll ever upgrade the engine much, so its not making much power.

what do you guys think about manual valve bodies?

just lookin for some tips/advice...

Make sure you flush the lines and cooler out real good, there is bound to be lots of crap left in there.

GVW 25K cooler with fan, temp gauge, and drain plug in the pan to make changing fluid easy.
