I think a 7004r or what ever has replaced it would be a good place to start, had a 350/350 turbo in a S-10 blazer 4x4 (3.73s), went cheap to get it running and upgrade later with a fresh 350/700r4 went from 12-16 mpg. $700 tranny never did pay for itself but made it a more pleasant drive.

Or really update it and find a wrecked truck for donor engine and tranny.
