Is it possible to rebuild a Dodge Ram 46RE?

A local shop should be able to rebuild it for you, or look online at monster transmissions. I have a stroked 5.9 with the 46RE. The toughest part is getting it on a dyno to find your torque curve, and then having to replace your torque converter because you got the wrong stall speed.
