Trans should hold up then. Is it an LA 360??? If it's a magnum, what are you planning for fuel/ignition?
Keep in mind though, the 360 is externally balanced, and how they accomplished that changed over the years.

Ooo..... Do you know what trans is in your truck?? That's gonna be a pretty potent motor....
Does the EZ EFI do ignition as well?

That translates to a 42RH.... That is NOT going to last long behind a 408.....

46RH. Just a meaner version of the trans that is in there now.
