TH400 swap

I'm going to replace the 6L80E to a TH400 with a transbrake this winter and would like some help with what parts will be needed. My block is an LS7. Aside from the transmission, converter and driveshaft what parts/part numbers will I need. I'm also planning to use a B&M Pro Ratchet shifter, is that a good choice?
Secondly, what issues will I have to deal with regarding the TCM and whats necessary to remedy them?
Anybody willing to take the time and make an itemized list? All help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Bryan

I'll be doing the swap soon. Tranny is fresh out of the shop now. Just gotta collect parts for the swap. I'm going to run the quicksilver shifter so that just the shift lever will be through the m6 boot. Cleaner looking to me that way.

The B&M ratchet shifter will also fit through an M6 boot.

Yes but I want just the handle but still have a ratchet shifter. Quicksilver fits the bill for me and I've used it in the past and like the function of lifting up on the handle.

Post some pics when you're done. I'm interested in seeing how it all looks complete. Maybe it'll be something I'll change over the winter.
