Welcome to the forum.
Is your truck auto or standard?
What is you budget for the trans?

Thank you, it's automatic (sorry forgot that detail) as long and it's a good one for the motor I'm getting I don't really have a budget in mind

Which auto trans do you have?
The Rockauto parts website list a turbo 350, turbo 400, and a 700R4 as transmissions available for your truck. All 3 of these trans can be rebuilt and upgraded to handle 450 HP.
What is your intended use for the truck? What are your rear end gears? Do you want an overdrive?
