yeah the ron sessions book is great i used it to rebuild my th350 last winter ,,,,the book has alot of illistrations ,, very detailed instuctions,good specs for replacing bushings ,,,also has a modification section this is the book i used Turbo Hydra-Matic 350 Handbook: Ron Sessions: 9780895860514: Amazon.com: Books in my case i had to buy tools to do the job ,,,, i picked up most tools from harbor frieght tools and i improvised on some tools for example i used exhaust pipe to install the seals on tail housing and front pump ,,,if you want pics of tools i used let me know ,,,, i just tore down a trans couple days ago if i had known i wouls have taken step by step pics for you ,,,, for what its worth i never did any type of trans work ,,, and the one i did last winter survived this shortly after install

if memory serves me right i went with this tci master rebuild kit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TCI-329000/ i also bought bushings from this site http://www.transmissionpartsusa.com/350_transmission_parts_s/598.htm

Nothern Auto has the best price on trans kits (Transtar)

If there is a local transmission supply house the ATG books they hare are good. Also, some have kits with the wide direct drum bushing. Always use the cast iron sealing rings. Change all the bushings. Change or flush the convertor. Flush the cooling lines. Wash everything about three times. Buy a tube of trans-gel.
