Most of the 350 swaps that I've seen also swap the tranny as well. I think they use a Chevy 6 speed maunal---don't ask me the part#....

A good place to ask is www.hybridz.org

The stock tranny is only rated at about 250 ft/lbs although I know several people are running more and haven't had any problems... yet.
