If he wants to hit this thing with a 200 shot or something then sure.
From my experience (and occasionally from my own laziness)....most people don't want to take apart a working tranny.

You talking about a 36 element sprag & custom Direct drum, New GM Sprag style drum, 34 element Sprag, & Race can be had for < $250. If the Drum & Race are in good shape, The 34 element sprag is a direct replacement for the 16 element sprag.
A 16 element Sprag can handle more abuse than people admit, Still stronger than the 8 element Roller Clutch found in most TH400's.

My primary goal right now is to get it moving under its own power. If needed I will look at tranny ungrades in the future.

A '94 4L80E will work fine....IF it's in good shape?

Well I will definitely be going to hell
The ONLY way to know the true shape of an auto transmission is to tear it down.
