    A th350 or 400 would hold up but I wouldn't boost it more than 5-7lbs till he could get a built 80 in it, we built a shop truck and ran 10lbs on it for almost a year till we did an 80 swap

    You're right, I wouldn't have to do the tranny swap right away, but I have a 4l80 here and it'd be nice to get the overdrive.

    Was thinking about just doing another small block, but after looking around all day online, a 6.0 LS is looking pretty good. Don't be surprised if you see some stuff pop up in the classifieds from me tonight to help with the fundage.

    We're on the same page. A 350 could handle it but there are better suited options and if he's going through the work, might as well put an 80 or a T-56 behind it.

    A t-56 would be ideal, but good luck finding one. I just sold one and have been kicking myself ever since.
