Your most reliable option would be an 80E. I have built 60's with that power level or more but in my experience once a year they will need to be refreshed depending on your driving habits. If you do not drive it hard then you will probably get some more time out of it. For what its going to cost to build a 60an 80E would be better money spent. HTH Vince

1.80 Gear Powerglide
Add a gearvendors overdrive if you feel you need it for highway cruising. I would guess a 3.50 or taller gear with a 28" tire depending on your shiftpoint. Even without OD, you could cruise 70 mph around 3000 rpm.
No electronics to worry about, lightweight, simple. One shift. Torque converter needs to be spot on, not kind of close.
Pics of your tow rig?? Sounds killer!

Here it is without "level" in the front. Last year when I first got the tires.

Actually, I found this. Also on their transmission page they have some TH350's. Hmm.
